This designer wants to turn lab-grown leather into your next jacket

Suzanne Lee is a designer and the chief creative officer with Modern Meadow, where they are working to biofabricate leather, which means to literally grow leather in a lab without the animal. Lee and her team are working side-by-side with scientists to take these new materials and turn them into functional, beautiful pieces of clothing, furniture, and accessories. Working at the junction of biotech and design, she’s truly helping forge the future in her industry.
