With Milan Design Week behind us, it's time to begin a new chapter. We are proud to announce the very first ROOTS Embassy, hosted in the beautiful canal house of ROOTS partner Yumeko on Amsterdam's Herengracht. Throughout the month of September, Yumeko's stunning garden room will become the temporary home of Bedtime Stories —a continuation of Sleeping Beauty – A Symbiotic Symphony, first presented during ROOTS Milano.

We know baker's yeast mainly from bread, beer, and wine. But did you know that the same yeast could also play a role in construction? At ROOTS, we are constantly exploring emerging materials that challenge conventional thinking and push the boundaries of sustainable product innovation. Researchers have developed a fully bio-based, 3D-printable material by combining deactivated baker's yeast with wood fibres, alginate extracted from brown seaweed and plant-based glycerol.

Each Saturday, ROOTS Exhibition shares an inspiring story or interview from Milano Design Week 2026 on our social channels. Follow us on Instagram and LinkedIn to discover the people, ideas and installations behind this year’s exhibition.
