Inspired by the long-term Chemarts activities, Aalto University Bioninnovation Center is participating in Dutch Design Week for the first time.
When:–
Collaboration as the key to success.
Experimenting with underutilised bio-based materials.
When: 22-30 October 2022
The exhibition consists of the CHEMARTS Cookbook and six experimental, bio-based material projects by Aalto University CHEMARTS students and alumni. The exhibition is curated by Anna van der Lei and Pirjo Kääriäinen.
When: 8.-29.9.2021
Materialising the Future – CHEMARTS 10 years exhibition is inspired by often asked questions related to bio-based materials, such as Why to recycle bio-based materials? Can bio-based materials replace plastics? Does it make sense to use trees as materials?
Where: Online via Zoom
When: 9 September 2021
During this year’s edition of Milan and Helsinki Design Week, the Datemats project promotes an online event where its experts in designing for and with Emerging Materials and Technologies (EM&Ts) illustrate their methodologies and offer an insight into their material world. The event is open to practitioners and students in the fields of architecture, engineering and design.
Please register to the event.
Where: The New School, New York, NY, USA
When: 14.-15.11.2019
Professors Pirjo Kääriäinen and Tapani Vuorinen from Aalto CHEMARTS and professor Julia Lohmann from DoD have been invited to give talks at ‘Material Health: Design Frontiers’ symposium organised at The New School, New York NY 14.-15.11.2019. See program.
In collaboration with the Finnish Cultural Institute in New York FCINY, Pirjo Kääriäinen and Tapani Vuorinen will also lead a creative mini workshop with nanocellulose painting 16.11.2109 at FCINY.
When: 19.-27.10.2019
Aalto University CHEMARTS is presented for the first time at DDW, the most important international design event showcasing new material-related projects. The CHEMARTS exhibition consist of six concepts that are the result of research conducted into new wood- and cellulose-based materials by students, researchers, lecturers and professors from Aalto University. The exhibited projects are all-cellulose composites with dyers’ Woad, Ioncell textile fibre, structural colour, tomato waste, biodegradable 3D shapes, and nanocellulose mixed with feathers. CHEMARTS has been selected for DDW Bio-design route, and professor Pirjo Kääriäinen will give a talk at DDW talks on 23.10.
In circular economy materials are not only reused or recycled; they are merely stored in products, and used again and again. When designers and scientists join forces already in early stages of materials research, new plant-based materials can be designed and developed for these closed-loop systems.
CHEMARTS is based on continuous and inspiring collaboration between design, fashion and scientific material research at the Aalto University, Finland, since 2012.
