- GIRIA Tree bark biocompositeGIRIA is a unique biocomposite made from tree bark and a mix of organic binders, designed to bring the essence of the forest into everyday objects. The material is warm, tactile, and versatile, with a texture that evokes natural surfaces. Developed through extensive material research, GIRIA combines pine, oak, and ash bark with leaf powder pigments.
- Spruce Bark Hut: Turning Forest Waste Into A Living Architectural SkinUlf Mejergren Architects (UMA) designed the Spruce Bark Hut in Grödinge, Sweden, to explore spruce bark as a bio-based building material. The team collected…
- Bark ClothRindentuch or Bark Cloth is made from the naturally regrowing bark of the fig-tree (ficus natalensis). It consists of Cellulose fibers and a very small amount of Tannin. It originates from Uganda and is presumably the worlds oldest non-woven textile.
- Tree of CultureCalled Tree of Culture, Basse Stittgen's project traces the journey that the two polymers of wood take, back to the moment when the cellulose fibre was held together by the lignin in a tree. Shown here is a thermoformed biocomposite consisting of lignin and cellulose. The two components are mixed together and are then filled into a metal mould and heat pressed at 180° C with around 10 tons of pressure.
- BarkThe poplar tree can grow to be about 30-45 meters tall. Protective barks runs up to 4 cm thickness. After being processed the bark is used as a whole piece and not adhered to other supporting elements and is therefore suitable for both indoor areas and facades as a cladding panel. Aside from this material's natural, biobased qualities, every sheet offers a unique look and feel.
- Turning Bark Waste into a Protective Furniture FinishTree bark makes up roughly 10% of the material processed in sawmills, yet most of it ends up as waste. Many manufacturers burn it…

- PineSkinsPineSkins, as the name suggests, is the skin of a pine tree. This leather-like material surprises with its softness in contrast to the thick and harsh character associated with pine trees. Fresh bark is treated with natural ingredients that preserve its softness. Afterwards, it can be coated with an enriching layer of finishing and colour pigments.
