Ranee Lee with Regent Park Sewing Studio members at DESIGNwith lab.

Join us for a thought-provoking lecture with a founder of DESIGNwith lab and professor of Industrial Design at OCAD University, Ranee Lee! Together with Lee, we’ll look at the Form Follows Care initiative, asking, “What makes a caring design practice?” Our guest speaker will share the foundations of circular design, discussing her professional framework at the juncture of the corporation, academia, culture and community for the benefit of both people and the planet.

Form Follows Care is a collection of unique products made from The Power Plant's recycled marketing banners, designed by DESIGNwith lab and crafted by women sewists from the Regent Park Sewing Studio. This collection of zero-waste tote bags, pouches, and wallets utilizes every part of the banner to eliminate waste for social and environmental sustainability. Learn more!
