Hello Sustainable Designers! 🌿
Thanks for signing up , we’re back with another edition of reFern Roundup!
This newsletter keeps you updated on our progress, what we’re building, and what’s ahead. Thank you for being part of our journey so far!
reFern Mission:
Sustainable interiors aren’t optional anymore, but managing material impact still takes too much time. With countless products, specs, and standards to juggle, making better choices can feel overwhelming.
reFern cuts through the noise. Our platform brings embodied carbon, material data, and lower-impact alternatives into one place, so designers can choose better materials without compromising their vision.
We’re back! After a quiet stretch behind the scenes in early 2025 - navigating a few curveballs and preparing for what’s next …. reFern is ready for 2026, and we couldn’t be more excited to share what’s coming.
Things are going to look a little different this year: we’re sharing quarterly updates, and posting more newsletters, so you’ll hear from us more often with stories, insights, and practical tips for sustainable, health-focused design.
Here’s what’s new:
Design in the Age of Impact Series:
We’re continuing our exploration of sustainable, health-conscious design. Our next article, “Health x Sustainability: Transforming Interiors with reFern,” is coming next week and dives into designing greener interiors for healthier living.
Part 1 Recap:

Behind the Scenes:
We’ve been hard at work refining our platform, and we’re excited to share that three amazing interns will be joining us soon to support the build-out. Big things are underway, and we can’t wait to share more.
2026 is shaping up to be a year filled with actionable insights, inspiring stories, and ideas to help you design smarter, healthier, and more sustainable spaces.
Stay tuned and let’s make an impact together.
