Forest Carbon, a leading ecosystem restoration company dedicated to revitalising degraded wetland forests across Southeast Asia, is a Winner at Fast Company's Innovation by Design Awards, in the Best Design Asian-Pacific category.

In a time when the carbon credit market faces a crisis of confidence, Forest Carbon partnered with Design Bridge and Partners Singapore to create a groundbreaking new brand identity to support the launch of the company's campaign to leverage markets to protect high biodiversity areas. Together, we crafted a rebrand that highlights Forest Carbon's long-lasting impact and showcases its profound understanding of how critical ecosystems such as tropical forests and wetlands are an emerging asset class.

Our innovative visual system, titled 'In Tune with Nature', wasn't just inspired by nature, it was created by it. Inspired by the science of bioacoustics and Chladni figures - visualisations of sound frequencies - it captures the richness of a healthy ecosystem, transforming the sounds of the forest into a unique, living visual system. The new brand identity gives nature a voice, making the health and biodiversity of the ecosystem both visible and visceral.

The 2025 Innovation by Design Awards honour the innovative ways that businesses are solving the most crucial problems of today and anticipating the pressing issues of tomorrow. This year’s winners span design disciplines. From an app that redefines the way we consume the news to flooding infrastructure that doubles as land art, each project is a reminder that beauty and functionality are integral ingredients of true innovation.
