Work
Hypha is a word from Ancient Greek meaning 'web' (plural hyphae); referring to one of the threads that make up the mycelium of a fungus.
In ecology, hyphae provide sustenance and communication between living organisms. Drawing inspiration from this infinitely adaptive, complex structure, we bring these traits to our work: rooted in knowledge, yet boundless in imagination.Co-Creation Lab
