Viltė Adomavičiūtė Cannamama's research at the New European Bauhaus Research Centre focuses on the variety of acoustic (sound-absorbing) materials and their application in contemporary design. She is testing the use of hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) as a potential eco-friendly material in many different ways. As a designer and farmer, Vilte will combine innovative design principles and agricultural experience in the exhibition, presenting a variety of hemp-based products.

The applicability of natural materials in interior design is the main topic explored by designer Sandra Kasperavičienė, a researcher at the NEB Research Center. Design and architecture exhibitions around the world are currently showcasing new materials and technologies that are not only more sustainable and made from renewable sources, but also address emerging challenges – what happens when they are no longer used? How can they be reused without compromising aesthetics? 
The CORK CROSS table/chair is made from 100% cork. Two identical furniture segments are stacked on top of each other, creating a simple but expressive piece of furniture that is easy to disassemble and reassemble. 
CORK CROSS was presented at the recently opened 2025 Venice Architecture Biennale in the Lithuanian pavilion "Archi / Tree / tecture" (curator G. Balčytis).
Special thanks to FITSOUT for creating the prototype and to our partners from Portugal, AMORIM, for introducing us to cork.

Reload stones jewelry collection examines the ratio of carbonate class stones calcite, aragonite, dolomite, and chicken eggshells, with the aim of conserving natural resources by recycling the relevant food waste, i.e. chicken eggshells, to create artificial sustainable "stones" that could be used in the production of jewelry and other design products.

The chemical composition of these stones (calcite, aragonite, dolomite) composition of these stones (calcite, aragonite, dolomite) almost perfectly matches that of chicken eggshells found in most people's households. Eggshells consist almost entirely of calcium and magnesium carbonates, and this inorganic salt dominates the chemical composition of selected carbonate minerals is dominated by this inorganic salt. The new artificial stone material created from eggshells imitates the physical and chemical properties of these stones due to the similarity of their chemical composition. It also conveys a message of sustainability policy and offers an aesthetically appealing, safe to use, and environmentally friendly product that can replace expensive stone masses in jewelry and design.
