Sanne Visser is selected as one of the four Design Researcher in Residence at the Design Museum, as part of the new Future Observatory programme. 
 The DRiR is co-funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) and Idlewild Trust.
This years theme is Restore.
 Sanne will explore hair as both a local waste stream and a material resource by working directly with a community of experts,&#38;nbsp;using interdisciplinary and participatory design methods.&#38;nbsp;


	


	


	Restore
“Climate change is the defining crisis of our time. As human impact continues to place pressure on our natural ecosystems and biodiversity, the future of our planet is uncertain. Deforestation, fossil fuels and intensive agriculture caused by unsustainable consumption has created food shortages, environmental degradation, and displacement across the globe.

The COVID-19 pandemic has amplified the structural frailties and inequalities that exist in our governance models and supply chains have been exposed. We must radically rethink the tools and systems needed to reduce consumption and protect our planet for all lifeforms now and in years to come.

As the museum's new exhibition, 'Waste Age: What can design do?', demonstrates, design plays a crucial role in helping us navigate this landscape. Innovations in material culture, manufacturing and consumer experience are proposing new systemic ways of making and consuming that are more respectful to the environment. Moreover, designers today are demonstrating the value of transforming waste into new resources, to begin the transition to a circular economy.

The focus of this year’s Future Observatory, within which this residency sits, is net zero+: not only the reduction and/or offsetting of carbon emissions, but also circularising local and national economies, reducing waste, and embedding environmental sustainability at strategic, socio-technical and product/service innovation levels.

Through Future Observatory, a new collaborative programme between the Design Museum, the Arts and the Humanities Research Council, the museum is exploring how design can enable the UK to meet its environmental targets, whether on air and water pollution, carbon footprints and waste management or biodiversity. It advocates for solutions that help to deliver Net Zero by 2050, and that go beyond to protect our communities and restore our natural world now. How can we have an inclusive transition to a greener economy?”

More about the programme to be released soon. In the meantime please visit the Design Museum’s website here.

					During the Milan Design Week 2023, the third edition ‘We Will Design: We have an I.D.E.A’ presented at BASE Milano invites designers from all over the world, schools, universities,
international institutions, young students reflecting on the concept
of plural and inclusive design. 
Sanne Visser, alongside four other
designers, were in residence as part of the Temporary Home
programme at BASE, where casa BASE serves as a home and place
for experimentation enabling the residents to develop, display and
present their own projects to the public.


	


	


	LOCALLY GROWN at BASE
Designer and researcher Sanne Visser — collaborating with British Council, as part of the Circular Cultures programme— presented LOCALLY GROWN, a design
research project exploring human hair as a material resource, by working closely
with hairdressers to rethink and reimagine the system of hair recycling. Through an interactive installation, it invited visitors to see and physically experience the
opportunities human hair can bring to wider ecosystems, from live haircuts in a
redesigned barber’s chair to co-design workshops envisioning new equitable futures
using radical materials.

Photocredits: BASE
	Sanne worked with local hairstylists in Milan providing (free)
haircuts to visitors, experiencing the idea of hair recycling in the
redesigned tools, questioning ‘what if our hairdressers become the
farmers of the future’. In one week more than a hundred haircuts
took place in collaboration with local hairstylists in Milan from hair
salons and academies including Orea Malia, Diadema Academy
and Glow Hair &#38;amp; Beyond. The collected hair will be used as part of
Sanne’s practice creating new regenerative materials and products -
from dog leads to swings, to belts and bags.

					
Alongside live haircuts at the centre of the exhibition, Sanne
presented the WALL OF HAIR on one side and the journey of
materiality using hair in the ‘FROM FIBRE TO RESOURCE’
section on the other side, showcasing pre-existing and new material
developments. See below for more information.

	Since 2016, Sanne’s practice has focused on the development of yarn
and rope from human hair, using traditional techniques including
spinning and ropemaking amongst other methods. For Milan
Design Week 2023 Sanne launched newly developed materials and
formed collaborations, stretching the boundaries between crafts
and science. Woven hair samples were developed in collaboration
with Chilean textile artist and designer Sofía Hott, alongside
bioplastics using the keratin of hair.

WOVEN HAIR - STUDIO SANNE VISSER X SOFÍA HOTT 







	
	‘For pre-Columbian Andean cultures, the use of human hair in textiles
and funerary practices was an activity strongly related to sacred
practices and the cycle of life. These woven samples are inspired on these
ancient practices, making an invitation to reflect about the language and
use of a sacred material today’ – Sofía Hott

	Biography Sofía Hott 

Sofía has a background in cultural heritage, researching rural textile traditions, and working with artisan communities in South America. Her inspiration as a weaver comes from her Andean roots and the pre-Columbian cultures, creating woven pieces that help to reconnect to the ancestral past and to revalue the ancient sacred traditions. Sofía holds an MA in Textile Design from the University of the Arts London (UAL) and is currently living in Santiago, Chile. @sofiahott
	














BIOPLASTICS 



Other newly developed materials showcased during the Design Week included a selection of bioplastics made from human hair. These new biomaterials made from human hair and its main polymer that is keratin, highlight the interesting, multi-faceted properties of hair – it being shiny, strong and yet lightweight. Sanne is interested to better understand how to create high value of low valued materials – in this case the focus on extra short hair fibres.

WALL OF HAIR 
















	The WALL OF HAIR aimed to welcome and celebrate the diversity of all hair during the Milan Design Week, by inviting people to think how they like their hair to be used in the near future and what the main purpose would be leading to equitable futures. Visitors were able to cut a strand of their hair and place it on the wall by adding their perspective of hair as material.

Background LOCALLY GROWN project 



	LOCALLY GROWN started as a design research project, developed as part of Sanne’s Design Researcher in Residence at the Design Museum in 2022 (Future Observatory programme). Here she worked with a group of hairdressers local to the Design Museum in order to understand, rethink and reimagine the systems and materials of hair. The project findings were disseminated as part of the Restore exhibition with accompanied publication, launched June 2022 at the Design Museum London.

Locally Grown is an interactive installation that invites visitors to explore their hair as a new material with great potential. This time, the touring showcase was located in the Oxo Tower as part of the Material Matters Fair during London Design Festival 2024. 



	


	


	LOCALLY GROWN at MATERIAL MATTERS
This exhibition is a continuation and evolution of their Locally Grown project, which launched at the Design Museum in 2022, showcase in Milan in 2023, and is being further developed in the studio’s new pilot recycling hub HairCycle in Stratford. Since February 2024, the HairCycle team has been collecting hair from local salons and barbershops in Newham to transform it into local, bio-based materials. Hundreds of kilograms of hair is wasted every month, choking drains, filling landfill sites, and releasing harmful greenhouse gases

The installation offered a chance to experience the full journey from fibre to product through live hair cuts, spinning, ropemaking demonstrations and an exhibition of design objects.
Collaboration and connection with others are key to their approach. As Sanne states in a recent Material Matters podcast interview, “I work independently, but I would never say I work alone.” Expanding on previous work and possible applications of this strong and versatile material, Studio Sanne Visser have invited nine other studios with a like-minded approach to regenerative and circular design, to collaborate on a series of unique objects that incorporates the studio’s hair yarn, cord and rope.

The exhibition was supported by the The Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands and is co-curated by Company, Place, an organisation who specialise in a bio-regional approach to arts commissioning.&#38;nbsp;

					Textile Art by Mia Rodney (2024)
Channelling her experience of using synthetic hair in her braids, Mia Rodney has seized the opportunity to create an in-house version of the HairCycle process. Using knitting and crochet techniques to divert personal beauty waste from landfills into materials for her creative practice. Building on her previous work, the curly shapes represent her personal journey of self-acceptance and act as symbols of resilience and beauty.

Mia Rodney is a textile artist whose work explores identity and more specifically, relationships with hair through different knitted techniques. A historically underappreciated art form, it is only in the last few years that major institutions have given textile artists the platform they deserve. Much like those that have come before her, Rodney uses the medium to tell stories that are often layered, obscured and political, with underlying references and hidden meanings interwoven into the work that on a surface level is bright, colourful and convivial.

	Seating by Wilkinson &#38;amp; Rivera (2024)Captivated by the naturalness of the hair and its ability to retain the same qualities as when alive, Wilkinson &#38;amp; Rivera have applied the hair rope to furniture. The duo have inserted the soft and supple rope, in place of traditional seating materials such as rush, which becomes rigid after being harvested and dried. The design concept draws parallels between wood and hair; both grown, harvested, then hand-carved and spun respectively, recalling a sense of traditional manufacturing which is now far less common.&#38;nbsp;
Wilkinson &#38;amp; Rivera is a design and manufacturing studio founded by Grant Wilkinson &#38;amp; Teresa Rivera. Guided by time-honoured techniques and materials, Wilkinson &#38;amp; Rivera create collectable pieces for the everyday. Each meticulously crafted object is manufactured in-house, by hand and with longevity in mind.

	Homewares by Helen Kirkum Studio (2024)Helen Kirkum Studio’s work highlights the importance of reframing the perception of materials considered ‘waste’ and instead positioning them as precious resources with great potential. Both Kirkum and Visser have set up systems that can process abandoned materials into new ones from end to end. Helen Kirkum Studio’s signature patchwork fabric is constructed by the dismantling and reassembling of post-consumer sneaker waste. Available in every colour and texture imaginable, natural tones in super soft suede were specifically chosen here to compliment the hair rope and create a tactile and durable set of interior objects. Helen Kirkum Studio started in 2019 with a clear mission: to rescue old sneakers from landfills and transform them into new creations. The raw materials are sourced from single shoe bundles at Traid’s warehouse, then meticulously cleaned, deconstructed, and transformed into a distinctive, one-of-a-kind raw material ‘Collaged Sneaker Leather’. The output powerfully demonstrates the importance and intersection of craftsmanship, innovation, and ecological responsibility.

	Hat by Rein Reitsma (2024)
Employing traditional and contemporary basketry techniques to the hair rope transforms a relatively 2D form into something more sculptural. Out of the countless ways you can make a basket, Rein Reitsma enjoys coiling with rope the most, it’s simple and effective and the outcome can be any shape or indeed scale. Here he cheerfully uses the technique to return the material to its source in the form of a hat, a product that could indeed be an exciting development for the follically challenged. 
Working in between the fields of product design and art, Rein Reitsma patiently and playfully crafts unusual and colourful objects. His work sees everyday materials applied in unexpected places whether it be a dazzling quilt made of shirts, baskets of packaging straps, a hand-woven woven QR-code or a flying raincoat kite. This particular way of working made Rein an early and proud member of Basketclub, an ever-growing international community of designers and craftspeople that weaves a new “basket” every month.

A Suit To Remember Me By looks at the shifting cultural attitudes towards hair as a textile material over time, and its potential as a tool for connection and memory-keeping. 

The suit is made from deadstock wool, while the embroidery is Studio Sanne Visser’s hair rope, which MacDonald dyed with madder (an ancient red plant pigment) and stitched through with gold silk thread. 

The material choices and swirling motifs pay homage to the ornate craft of Victorian hairwork, a process that turned the cut-off hair of a loved one into fine jewellery as a way to remember them and keep them close. 

The work questions our understanding of hair once it’s left our bodies, and encourages viewers to see it as a sentimental and precious material with the potential to hold narratives within it. 

Lauren MacDonald is a designer, maker, and founder of textiles studio Working Cloth. She is interested in the intersections between craft, technology, and labour, particularly around activities traditionally considered ‘women’s work’. Her first non-fiction book, In Pursuit of Color: From Fungi to fossil fuels, uncovers the origins of the world’s most famous dyes, brings together historic techniques, archive photography, specimens and present-day events to tell the histories of some of the world’s most important dyestuffs.

	Mirrors by Studio Sanne Visser (2024)

Demonstrating the impressive strength-to-weight ratio of human hair, an average strand of human hair has the potential to hold up to 100g of weight, is an important and ongoing feature of Sanne Visser’s work. Superstitious or not, a hoisted-up mirror should remain in place, the combination of the hair rope holding the fragile mirror delivers the message and makes for a beautiful product which can be installed back into the hairdressers and barber shops from which some of those materials came. The handcrafted wooden elements are made to size by Jesse Beagley, a London based furniture maker.
Studio Sanne Visser, the driving force behind this project, is a material design research studio focused on exploring material innovation and future thinking through making and learning for circular worlds. Her work specialises in regenerative design, systems thinking, and sustainable solutions, with a unique emphasis on using human hair as a resource.

WORK IN PROGRESS



	
	
Studio Sanne Visser and HairCycle have teamed up with three organisations all running ambitious research projects that look to extend the application of human hair. The projects in progress are looking beyond just diverting this waste stream from landfills and exploring the material’s potential to be utilised addressing some of our most urgent environmental issues.

	Applications Underwater

In collaboration with Bio Crafted and Studio Sanne Visser, alternatives to synthetic ropes are being tested in the rebuilding of Coral Reefs. While vegetal fibres have been found to decay rapidly, protein-based fibres, including human hair have shown promising results as an alternative to plastic. Far from being a new invention, In Oceania, Polynesians traditionally made cordage from human hair for a wide variety of marine applications. This project seeks to understand if this practice could be revived, reducing the plastic pollution in the lagoons caused by the synthetic ropes used in marine industries for applications such as coral farming.

Coral Gardeners, founded by a small group of young people in French Polynesia, has grown into a global organisation and is on a mission to save the world’s coral reefs through restoration projects paired with science, innovation and community engagement. Their teams are collecting fragments of heat-resilient corals to grow in nurseries on long lengths of rope. When the corals are large enough to have a better chance of survival, they are outplanted onto areas of damaged reef to help revive the ecosystem.

Chris Bellamy, founder of Bio Crafted, is a bio-designer and engineer exploring how we can live more symbiotically through interspecies and intercultural collaboration. His long-term research project with communities in French Polynesia uses design as a bridge between scientific and traditional knowledge, finding ways for them to come together to solve local and global problems.

	Applications In Green Spaces&#38;nbsp;As part of HairCycle, R-Urban Poplar is researching how short hair waste can be used to boost biodiversity and growth in green spaces while reducing water and energy use. Initial experiments have focused on using hair as a filter in greywater systems, felted hair mats as mulch and fertiliser, and hair mats in wormeries. These trials are being carried out at R-Urban Poplar and at Carpenters Community Garden in Stratford, where local residents collaborate to explore sustainable practices like recycling, growing, and reusing. Future plans include testing hair in cob mixtures to build an outdoor kitchen oven and promoting innovative ways to enhance urban environments with bio-regional materials. 
R-Urban Poplar is an eco-civic hub located on the Teviot Estate in Poplar, London, focused on fostering civic resilience in response to climate change. The project centres around two key initiatives: developing a just, circular food system and promoting resource reuse and repair. With prototype infrastructures such as composting and anaerobic digestion facilities, as well as workshops for repair and skill-sharing, R-Urban Poplar aims to create sustainable, localised urban systems. R-Urban Poplar is a public works project. R-Urban originally launched by Atelier d'architecture autogérée (Paris) and public works (London) and exists as an expanded European network, with multiple hubs from London, Paris, and Romania.

	Applications In Architecture

As part of HairCycle, Urban Radicals is collaborating with Sanne Visser to explore innovative architectural applications for hair waste. Through public engagement workshops, the studio aims to integrate hair waste into the construction of shared spaces in the London Borough of Newham, using tiles, bricks, and renders in which hair acts as the reinforcer or binder of the building materials. 
Through co-designed and self-built initiatives, the studio proposes functional and cheerful gathering spaces for local residents. Once delivered these ideas can be further developed into blueprints for other communities, as part of socially and environmentally sustainable urban strategies that foster a sense of ownership and belonging.

Urban Radicals was founded by architects Era Savvides and Nasios Varnavas and is now an expansive network of friends, colleagues and expert collaborators who design objects, interiors, buildings and landscapes. Driven by a desire to build joyful public spaces, the practice works through a distinct and multi-disciplinary network of different players, all experts in their fields, forming a larger ‘we’, a system, to solve problems across contexts and scales.

	HairCycle












HairCycle is a new project which explores and tests regenerative, local, bio-based and circular models for human hair waste. Designers and researchers from the University of the Arts London in partnership with the London Borough of Newham aim to find better ways to collect, recycle and reuse human hair waste from local hair salons and barbershops in Newham during a one year pilot study, supported by the Design Museum’s Future Observatory programme, funded by the AHRC, as part of UKRI.


Hundreds of kilograms of hair is wasted every month, choking drains, filling landfill sites, whilst releasing harmful greenhouse gases. At the same time hair could be used for textiles, fertiliser or even building materials due to its incredible qualities. This has the potential to make our community go greener.



Since February 2024, the HairCycle team has been collecting hair from local hair salons and barbershops by cargo bike in Newham, to then recycle it in the HairCycle Recycling Hub in close proximity to the hairdressing/barber’s community, residents and creatives. Here, it is sorted, processed and ready to be turned into fertilisers for local parks and high-quality, handcrafted interior design, fashion and architecture objects – connecting both place and people.

 For Extended, Sanne Visser has designed eight unique mirrors using human hair rope and recycled mirror glass. The materials were collected from eight barber shops and hairdressers in the borough of Kensington and Chelsea as part of Locally Grown, Sanne’s residency project at the Design Museum in 2022. The mirrors are handmade with traditional craft techniques such as spinning and ropemaking. As is typical with Sanne’s work, making rope with human hair is a slow and mindful process involving sorting, cleaning and processing.

	“Recent events have heightened our awareness of home, its importance and fragility in turbulent times. For London Design Festival 2022, Brompton invites designers to reflect on the many meanings of the places we call home and the role of design in transforming these spaces."- Jane Withers, curator

Extended as part of ‘Make Yourself At Home’

	Hairdressers and
barbershops can be spaces of familiarity, sensitivity and relaxation. For both
customer and hairdresser, the salon is more than just a place to get or give a
haircut. It can be a semi-domestic or therapeutic place to see an old friend or
simply to relax. The salon extends the idea of where ‘home’ is. Whilst it
relates to the extended idea of what home is, it also reflects how materials
closer to home could have a valuable environmental and social impact by
extending their lifetime. The UK ‘grows’ an estimated 6.7 million kilograms of
human hair waste each year, which is currently being sent to landfill,
releasing toxic gasses and taking up large volumes of space.This whilst hair
contains valuable characteristics like high tensile strength, biodegradability
and insulation, and salons bringing local communities together.







	For Extended, Sanne Visser has designed eight unique mirrors
using human hair rope and recycled mirror glass. The materials were collected
from eight barber shops and hairdressers in the borough of Kensington and
Chelsea as part of Locally Grown, Sanne’s residency project at the Design
Museum. The mirrors are handmade with traditional craft techniques such as
spinning and ropemaking. As is typical with Sanne’s work, making rope with
human hair is a slow and mindful process involving sorting, cleaning and
processing.

	The majority of exhibition materials are reused and recycled. The mirrors are a tribute to Sanne’s hairdresser collaborators, with each of the mirrors being named after one of them. After the exhibition, the mirrors are on display for three months and available for purchase in each of the hair salons.&#38;nbsp; A part of the proceedings is going back to the hairdressers and a part will be donated to Choose Love and The Bike Project aiding the refugee and homelessness crisis.

For LOCALLY GROWN, as part of the Design Researchers in Residency programme (Future Observatory), Sanne has worked with a group of hairdressers local to the Design Museum in order to understand, rethink and reimagine the systems and materials of hair.
The project findings were disseminated as part of the Restore exhibition with accompanied Restore publication, launched June 2022 at the Design Museum.
&#38;nbsp;

	




	For LOCALLY GROWN, Sanne Visser has worked with a group of local hairdressers to explore the possibilities of recycling human hair.

There are 97 hairdressers in a one mile radius of the Design Museum. On average, each of these will cut off 2.4 kilograms of hair every month, most of which will end up in landfill. Yet hair is a highly versatile material. Like wool, it can be sorted and processed for use as a yarn or textile. It can also be broken down to its chemical components for medical uses or even as a plastic alternative.

Sanne’s investigation takes us into the hairdressers and barbers of Kensington and Chelsea to consider how they – and their tools – might play a role in a new recycling system that restores a common waste material back into creative reuse.

	A new hair recycling system requires new tools. These pieces of familiar salon furniture have been redesigned by Sanne to allow hairdressers and barbers to easily recycle the hair waste that they produce. The cape and bin provide an accessible way to collect and sort hair, while the more advanced design of the chair enables it to catch and store hair immediately after it is cut.

	Film Locally GrownConcept and art direction: Sanne Visser

Cinematographer and editer: Alice Dousova

3D Artist: Alexa Sirbu
Lenght: 10:41

The film Locally Grown is about the people that work within the system that Sanne worked closely with. It highlights the current&#38;nbsp; infrastructure of hairdressing with its significances in tools, place and people. The current hair and beauty industry in the UK  includes 46000 businesses, employs over 281.000 people, of which 86% is female, is one of the lowest paid jobs, whilst its direct economic contribution is greater than the road and railway construction and engineering industry or agriculture.

‘KNOT’ is a project investigating the potential use of human hair waste in the
pursuit of sustainable solutions for the fishing gear industry. 

We kicked off the project during Milan Design Week 2019 with a showcase of early
investigative research, documentation, and samples, alongside demonstrations of Visser’s self
developed rope machine and swing. 
KNOT is a continuation of Visser’s ongoing project, The New
Age of Trichology.’

					
				
			
		
	


	




	

	
	Taking Visser’s ongoing research in a new direction, KNOT aims to join the dots between two problems:
the abundance of human hair waste; and the need for sustainable solutions within the fishing gear
industry. While the fishing industry is one of the largest and oldest industries, it is also one of the most
impactful ones on a environmental and economic level. Research estimates that a 46% of the Great
Pacific garbage patch (GPGP) is from fishing gear. The European Commission states that in the EU, 20%
of gear is lost or discarded at sea, worldwide that’s 640.000 tonnes per year. To be able to sustain our
ecosystems and reduce plastic pollution, new solutions have to be implemented for a healthier future for
the planet as well as for our own health.


					
	The research is currently in collaboration and with the input from different parties, including marine
biologists and researchers from Bangor University, local fisherman in the areas of Anglesey and Hastings
and environmental activists from across the United Kingdom. In the near future Visser hopes to find further
support and funding for the project from the UK as well as from The Netherlands.

At the School of Ocean Sciences, at Bangor University in Bangor, Angleysey, Wales, we had the honour meet up with researchers and marine biologists Lucy Southworth, Philippa Bayford and Julie Webb to investigate the sustainability around mussel farming and the tools used in Bangor. We started with initial research looking into biodegradable materials for the musselropes used in mussel farming. Our aim was to closely replicate the existing style and thickness of musselropes with the use of human hair waste. The handmade ropes were then placed in the designated area for testing in the Menai Strait.
