MYCELIUMMILLENNIUM
Imagines an era in which biological resources
- mycelium*, are used to grow objects
for everyday rituals.
*Mycelium is a root-like structure of a fungus,
a microscopic mass of white threads.
MYCELIUMMILLENNIUM
examines ways of manufacturing with nature itself, merging Biofabrication - as a method of learning from nature, and Craft - embodying antique symbols and forms that place the objects in a longer material history.MYCELIUMMILLENNIUM
challenges the aesthetics and receptiveness of biodegradable materials. It attempts to stress longevity and resilience, integrating it into a circular vision, where the material is sourced from and returned to nature.MYCELIUMMILLENNIUM
is an invitation to raise awareness
for a
material revolution, and a vision of what we consume could match both the planet and society’s needs.Technique: biofabrication, charring, staining
Dimensions: (max) 30xØ30cm / (min) 10xØ13cm
