<p>Welcome to episode 43 of the Green & Healthy Places podcast, brought to you by Biofilico healthy buildings & interiors.</p><p>In this episode I’m chatting to Danielle Trofe, a biodesigner with her own studio in New York who also lectures in biomimicry for The Pratt Institute and Parsons New School.</p><p>Danielle’s MushLume collection of lampshades made from organically grown mushroom mycelium and hemp have featured in the seriously cool, eco-luxury 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge amongst other projects and she is a leading proponent of biofabrication - that is using naturally grown materials in product design.</p><p>Our conversation covers all of these ‘bio’ terms that may understandably be new for many of you, we also look into the full Life Cycle impact of a design product from production through to end of life, we discuss how biophilic design can when delivered poorly equate to a largely superficial greenwashing of the interior design process, and we introduce the topic of green chemistry, that is research and development around new bio-based materials that designers such s Danielle can then introduce into  future product development.</p><p>GUEST / DANIELLE TROFE / BIODESIGNER</p><ul><li><a href="https://danielletrofe.com/">https://danielletrofe.com/</a></li><li><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/danielletrofe">https://www.linkedin.com/in/danielletrofe</a></li><li><a href="https://twitter.com/DanielleTrofe">https://twitter.com/DanielleTrofe</a></li></ul><p>HOST / MATT MORLEY / WELLBEING CHAMPION</p><ul><li><a href="https://biofilico.com/">https://biofilico.com/</a></li><li><a href="https://www.mattmorley.net/">https://www.mattmorley.net/</a></li></ul>
