Ceri Almrott

Ceri Almrott is a Lecturer in Product Design at TU Dublin, where his teaching and research explore the intersections of Low-Tech design, material intelligence, and sustainable practice. His work challenges designers to ask critical questions of sufficiency, appropriateness, and resilience, cultivating new approaches to design that embrace limits as conditions for creativity. He leads experimental projects on material reuse, bio-based fabrication, and circular design education, encouraging designers and students to see materials not as neutral substrates but as active participants in design narratives. Through international collaborations, conferences, and his Materials Intelligence Lab, Ceri advocates for design practices that are inclusive, ecological, and future-oriented. His current work explores how designers can navigate the spectrum from High-Tech to Low-Tech, Slow-Tech to No-Tech.
