An essay by Lisa Cahill introduces Bio-Inspiration, a growing discipline seeing science, nature and design converge to find better solutions drawn from those already realised in the natural world. Around this circle four profiles of designers using Bio-Inspiration in their practice.Australian artist and designer Janet Laurence has spent three decades creating celebrated works with a strong bent to the natural world. Patrick Abboud explores her rich history and huge body of work with a deep and multifaceted profile - multi-media and in depth, it is an immersive exploration of her career involving sight, sound and touch.Fab Labs are a burgeoning global distributed manufacturing, education and design network, born out of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and now spanning 35 countries. Delegates from around the world attended their recent conference in Wellington, sharing developments, innovations and ideas for the future. This introduction to Fab Labs and wrap up of the conference and symposium explores the current and future possibilities of this growing network on the verge of an explosion.Plus, in this issue we introduce Bonnie Abbott, who will write three responses to interviews of emerging designers originally published on her own blog Gather & Fold, which will update in the app over time, and reviews Swept Away from the Museum of Art and Design in New York and Life In Your Hands, a touring exhibition from Lake Macquarie City Art Gallery.Not merely a magazine in digital form, Object magazine issue 63 embraces the format to truly immerse you, the reader, into these fascinating stories of forward-thinking design and beautiful art and craft.
