A longtime resident of Bali, British-born Duncan Murray Kirk is an eco-conscious materials designer whose goal is to reconcile nature with technology and to promote sustainable design. He worked in the music and technology industries in the UK and in Australia before first visiting Bali in 1980, and the island became a catalyst for his creative endeavors. Kirk has produced eco-friendly accessories for fashion labels including Monsoon, Jigsaw, and Esprit, and he developed Meshglass, a stained-glass decor surfacing that combines traditional Balinese craftsmanship with digital design. Previously he wrote Bali: Sustainable Visions with photographer Isabella Ginanneschi.
