Design Declares
Design Declares is a growing group of designers, design studios, agencies and institutions here to declare a Climate and Ecological Emergency and take action. We span communication, digital, industrial and service design.
We brought the team together for our Creative Escape at Limewood this year, a chance to step away from the studio, share stories, connect, and properly unwind. It’s rare that we’re all out of our day-to-day environment at the same time, so instead of a typical summer party & Christmas night out, we chose something slower and more meaningful: a couple of nights in the New Forest to reset, spend time outdoors, and return feeling refreshed as a team.
Studio Wood hosted the 8th “Women + Innovation” event at their studio in Bournemouth on the 26th November 2025. Joined by speakers from Reia, Gozney, Suri and Liang Liang - Sophie and the Studio Wood team opened the studio up to the local community.
On the 8th of April, we gathered some friends of the studio and made our way to Poole, Dorset, for a behind-the-scenes tour of Lush’s Green Hub. Together with the brilliant team at Lush, we welcomed a handful of forward-thinking brands for a walk through the Green Hub, followed by some honest, open talks and conversations around ethics, sustainability, and packaging.
