At the end of the 2nd floor in the room with large windows you will find Houseworming.

Meet your new roommates. 

Houseworming – my thesis project combines furniture with composting. Integrating a worm composting system into stylish furniture, it seamlessly (and odourlessly) connects us to our food waste cycle. Houseworming serves as the inaugural consumer product for Guardians of the Soil, a worm composting company based in Vancouver, B.C. This partnership between a budding industrial designer and worm composting experts provided the opportunity to innovate in a truly exciting way.

I invite you to learn more (and buy it!) on my website.

Designed by Ezra with Guardians of the Soil. Developed on unceeded xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh)

Head on photo of a mid-height stool alone on a white cloth backdrop. The stool is tan and made of maple plywood. A fan fabric form similar in shape to a coffee filter is hanging from the top of the stool. Attached at the bottom of of the fabric is a tan wood box with two drawers.
Stool 01 + Wormhopper neatly bridge the gap between us and our food waste, offering a path to environmental accountability. Composting takes on a new form.
