About
Aliet Bior is a Melbourne-based designer, founder and material practitioner whose work moves between objects, material research, public participation and infrastructure.
Her practice is grounded in curiosity about where materials come from, what we ask them to become, and what changes when we begin designing with natural systems rather than apart from them.
