Woven Studio
Where Art and Science Shape the Future
Woven Studio is an ecological art and design studio founded by award-winning artist Thijs Biersteker. We specialize in transforming scientific research into immersive, interactive, and multisensory experiences that drive awareness and inspire action on climate change, biodiversity loss, and sustainability.
From data-driven installations to sensor-based sculptures and live exhibitions, we turn climate facts into emotional experiences. Our studio speaks to heads of state and hearts of the public—making science visible, memorable, and impactful.

Our Services
Strategic Partnerships
We shape raw scientific research into stories that resonate. Our approach aligns with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and CBD’s 30x30 Global Biodiversity Framework.
Design Studio
We create new forms of environmental communication using emerging tech and design craft. From interactive sculptures to AI-driven installations, our work is emotionally intelligent and scientifically grounded.
Production & Installation
We deliver end-to-end installations for museums, COP venues, summits, and public space activations. From concept to construction to touring—we ensure impact at every scale.
Factualism: From Data to Emotion
We coined Factualism: the fusion of peer-reviewed science and emotional storytelling. Our installations don’t just show data—they make audiences feel it.
Featured Projects & Locations

Design for the Planet, Not Just for People
Our work is rooted in life-centric design. We build empathy between people, ecosystems, and machines—using recycled materials, transparent methods, and climate-positive approaches.
Let’s Collaborate
We partner with museums, scientists, policymakers, NGOs, and cultural institutions to help research and missions connect with global audiences—intellectually and emotionally.

Keywords: large-scale environmental art, interactive public installations, exhibition production, global touring artworks
♻️ Sustainable Production & Material Passports
Woven Studio produces all its artworks using a rigorously sustainable process that includes a detailed Material Passport for every installation. This passport tracks the origin, lifecycle, environmental footprint, and future use of each material—aligned with standards from the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, Madaster, and Cradle to Cradle.
Our works follow principles of Design for Disassembly, ensuring they can be reused or responsibly recycled. We use recycled or responsibly sourced materials, low-impact technologies (such as solar-powered sensors and kinetic systems), and measure the carbon and energy footprint of each project using tools like One Click LCA and EC3.
With ongoing input from two PhD researchers in circular design and environmental communication, our process goes beyond carbon neutrality—aiming for regenerative design that contributes to the wellbeing of both people and planet
Strategic Partnerships
We start with science and build toward impact. Whether you're working with datasets, frameworks, or new technologies, we shape it into a story that lands with cultural force.
Aligned with the UN SDGs and the 30x30 Global Biodiversity Framework, we create visibility, legitimacy, and action.
