About Studio Roosegaarde
Studio Roosegaarde is a pioneer for the livability of our future landscapes. Clean air, clean water, clean energy, and now clean spaces are our new values. As social design lab, Dutch artist and innovator Daan Roosegaarde and his team of designers and engineers connect people and technology in artworks that improve daily life in urban environments, spark imagination and fight climate crisis.
Internationally acclaimed works include WATERLICHT (a virtual flood showing the power of water), SMOG FREE PROJECTS (the world first largest outdoor air purifier which turns smog into jewelry) SMART HIGHWAY (roads that charge throughout the day and glow at night) and the SPACE WASTE LAB (visualizing and upcycling space waste). Roosegaarde's mantra 'Schoonheid' is a dutch word with two meanings: 'beauty', that comes from creativity; and 'clean', that comes from clean air and clean energy. For Roosegaarde this should be a fundamental condition in daily life.
Marmoleum - Live Forward Campaign
Follow the true CO2-neutral path
Times are changing and now as we all know, not always in a good way. For today, we need to think about tomorrow more than we did yesterday. We owe it to our generation, and we have to do it for future ones: consider the way we eat, the way we travel, how we relax, work and think or in other words: we have to change the way we live.
Over the last 125 years we have been on an inspiring, Marmoleum path. With ups, downs, and the most amazing colors and textures. A CO2-neutral path through millions of buildings around the world. A path that's still unfolding, because it hasn't reached that fully sustainable future. Which is why we invite you to join us... choose most consciously...
