Searo Labs

Prototype Grants

Searo Labs is a Cambridge-based design studio focusing on material innovation.

Sero Labs was founded in 2022 by Royal College of Art graduates Ayça Dündar and Francis Field.

The studio turns regenerative seaweed into patented alternatives to plastic: foams, films, plant-based leather and adhesives. Its materials have been trialled with global brands, and everything is formulated and made in-house.

Its first consumer product, the SearoSoft earplug, protects hearing without harmful chemicals or microplastics, and is safer for our health and environment.
