SEOUL/PROVIDENCE, RI, October 27, 2025 – Hyundai Motor Group (the Group) and Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) are pleased to continue their pioneering multiyear research partnership exploring the relationship between nature, art and design, and the future of mobility around this year’s theme of “Tangible Futures.”
Now in its sixth year, the collaboration brings together RISD faculty and staff members, student researchers, and designers from Hyundai Motor, Genesis and Kia working together to explore innovative materials, products, manufacturing methods, services, and experiences. The Regeneration Studio, led by an advanced scientific team in RISD’s Edna W. Lawrence Nature Lab, is bringing to life entirely new concepts in bio-innovation, examining natural environments, systems, processes, and organisms with the intent to design a more circular and less harmful human-planet relationship.
