Episode 18 - Regenerative by Design with Common Object Studio

In this episode of The Green Route, we sit down with Fernando Ramirez and Justin Beitzal, the founders of Common Object Studio — an industrial design firm pioneering regenerative design. From their furnishing line Okaterra to their collaborations with design-driven companies, they embed sustainability, community, and radical intentionality into every step of the process. We talk about what inspired their purpose-driven approach, the challenges of regenerative design, and how they’re creating products that give back more than they take.Mentioned in this episode:Common Object StudioCommon Object Studio on IGOkaterraOkaterra on IGMetropolis's Sustainability Lab at NeoConAzure Emerging Design AwardsHave thoughts or comments to share?
