David Oakey on sustainable design

A passionate advocate for sustainable design practices, a board member of Bio-mimicry Institute, an award-winning textile designer and the inspiration behind InterfaceFLOR’s carpet tile design, David Oakey hopes to inspire and teach other organisations to adopt environmentally sound practices in all areas of business.

In David’s words, “We are students of nature’s design principles and of nature herself. We create our textile designs from the endlessly-renewable, continually-inspiring natural world. This practice, called bio-mimicry, finds solutions to design, manufacturing, and business problems in partnership with nature”.

David is in Auckland for a one-off speaking event courtesy of InterfaceFLOR and INZIDE Commercial.

5pm - 6.15pm. Cost is free, but numbers are limited.
