The second Solar Biennale illuminates the latest in ‘solar design’

This year, the Solar Biennale returns for its second edition in Lausanne. Created to explore the synergy between the power of the sun, the discipline of design and our future sustainability, the event was originally founded in 2022 by ‘solar designers’ Pauline van Dongen and Marjan van Aubel. Their mission is to establish ‘solar design’ as an integral part of life today.

STUDIO

What we do

The Studio arm of Looms has organically developed over the years to support climate and impact driven ventures and organisations with their design, brand and community building opportunities. We operate as a compact, high touch senior creative team that values purpose and intention and blends helicopter thinking with passion for craft and curation.

How we do it

We love emerging patterns and early days - of an idea, a place, a product or a vision - and enjoy the responsibility and creative energy of turning these often messy moments into beautiful and tangible frameworks, experiences or platforms. Building identity, principles and foundations, for the future steps of the journey happen in a meaningful and joyful way.
