- Urban ReefUrban Reef designs and creates open-ended habitats that encourage the growth and diversity of life in urban settings such as streetscapes, squares and buildings. The prototypes called "Reefs" are designed to integrate open systems and regenerative design into the city. Reefs are created using bio-based algorithms and are 3D printed with (living) materials.
- ANEMONIAANEMONIA is part of a material research inspired by the positive scientific developments within growing corals artificially, as a solution for dying reefs. The material visualises the process of growth and the movement of a sea anemone. When the material lays flat, it isn’t showing what’s below the surface. When it gets moved around it flows, as if water is running through the tentacles of an anemone, revealing its lively colour.
- Root TextileRootfull unites design with biology and reconnects humanity with Nature. It’s a pioneering venture that grows wheatgrass into templates carved from beeswax to create lamps and acoustic wall hangings from root. The textile is grown simply with wheatgrass seed and water to create a material that is woven entirely by Nature.
- BESE-elements®These Biodegradable Elements for Starting Ecosystems, or BESE-elements®, consist of stackable layers that build up into a biodegradable matrix structure. The modular design combines porosity with a complex structure. The renewable raw material, Solanyl, is biodegradable, carbon neutral and non-toxic, being made of potato waste from the French fry industry.
