A design and technology company for regenerative production.

Culture Assembly develops materials, software, and production systems for people making better things — from mycelium composites to future tools for fermentation and biofabrication.

Based in Chiang Mai, Thailand, we work across biology, craft, software, and manufacturing to explore new relationships between materials, tools, and local production.

What we build

We build across three connected fields.

01

Materials

Mycelium composites, grown objects, interior studies, and bio-based material systems.

02

Software

Future digital tools for fermentation teams, small producers, and production workflows.

03

Systems

Research, tooling, and manufacturing experiments that connect local waste streams, design, and production.

Core belief

The future is not only built by giant factories.

It can also be grown, brewed, designed, repaired, and assembled by local teams with better tools.

We believe small production teams deserve systems with the intelligence of a modern factory, the soul of a craft workshop, and the responsibility of a regenerative ecosystem.

How we work

Design, engineering, and science for regenerative production.

Design with rigor

We treat design, engineering, and science as connected disciplines for making better material and production systems.

Biodesign practice

We work with living systems, biological processes, and material research to develop regenerative ways of making.

People and planet

The work should benefit the people who use it, the teams who produce it, and the ecological systems around it.

Intent collaboration

We work hard, closely, and deliberately with makers, researchers, designers, producers, and partners.

Place-based systems

We build from Chiang Mai outward, grounding global ambition in local resources, skills, culture, and constraints.

Chiang Mai, Thailand

Built from Chiang Mai.

Chiang Mai gives Culture Assembly a different operating rhythm: close to agriculture, craft, food, fermentation, mountains, workshops, and regional material streams. It is a place to prototype future production without losing contact with land, culture, and people.

Collaborate

Looking at materials, tools, or production differently?

We welcome conversations with designers, curators, researchers, producers, and collaborators building more thoughtful ways of making.
