- STRAWaveThis product is made of recycled agricultural natural fibres including straw fibres and coconut-fibres, combined by bio-resins. The natural fibres are combined separately with the bio-resins and cast in a custom-designed mould to achieve the final wave-form pattern needed. No pigments were applied, and the natural fibres’ original colours were applied as a main bio-design aspect within the final product’s output. The product can be used in non-structural facade cladding systems and interior-claddings.
