For the American Hardwood Export Council (AHEC), design has never been only about what gets made. It is also about what gets understood. The organization does not sell a chair, table, or finished product; it advocates for a material, a supply chain, and a way of thinking that begins long before an object lands in a showroom or on a collector’s shelf. As Clerkenwell Design Week returned for its 15th edition under the fitting strapline Where Design Belongs, AHEC’s involvement spoke to a larger belief: creativity thrives when designers, makers, manufacturers, and audiences are given the tools to understand materials more deeply.
