Bio
Mathilde Wittock is a bio/ecodesigner and material researcher with a focus on sustainable innovation. Originally from Belgium, she studied biodesign and industrial design at Central Saint Martins in London. Mathilde is deeply interested in the sensory qualities of materials, exploring how design can engage all the senses—visual, tactile, auditory, and olfactory. She believes that the emotional impact of a product is significantly enhanced when it appeals to our sensory experiences.
Guided by the principles of circular design, Mathilde is particularly passionate about regenerative materials, whether sourced from waste or derived from biological processes, believing that sustainability is most impactful when materials can regenerate and support continuous use. Currently based in Brussels, Mathilde collaborates with a university on research into the acoustic properties of materials. Her work in this area seeks to integrate sound into design, contributing to more meaningful and sensory-rich experiences.
