TEODORO RAVA

“FORMS OF REVERENCE”
2026

 

Teodoro is a material designer whose work explores the intersection of natural systems, fabrication, and sustainable futures. He holds an MA in Material Futures from Central Saint Martins, where he developed the foundation for Hyper Wood, a new biomaterial engineered by himself, and a project that investigates regenerative materials as a whole through low-tech and locally informed processes.

His work has been exhibited in Milan Design Week, Dutch Design Week as well as three days of design in Denmark and London Design Festival.

Hyper Wood has been featured in several material libraries such as the Jan van Eyck Future Materials Library and the CoLab Material Library in Dubai, as well as in publications like Material District, Wallpaper magazine, Plaza Interior and Thisispaper magazines.

Teodoro's vision involves forging connections between manufacturing processes and natural methodologies, with an aim to question regenerative design, presenting new formats that hopefully inspire transformative action.

Teodoro’s process is rooted in hands-on experimentation with reclaimed materials and an ongoing dialogue with natural processes, working intuitively with what is available. Through play, testing, and material exploration, their practice develops adaptable methods and material languages that can inform architects and designers working with waste as a primary resource, encouraging more responsive and unique modes of making in an ever more technocratic built environment.
