Design students from Aalto University took the challenge to imagine a more sustainable future by developing their own biomaterials. Altogether 22 students used renewable raw materials like wood-based cellulose, food waste, feathers and plants. Those materials were collected, foraged and scavenged to inspire novel product ideas for a more hopeful future.<\/p>\n

A series of photos and objects looks into our connection to earth: planet, land, and material. Exploring the role of physical and digital tools in mediating this connection.[\/vc_column_text][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” interval=”3″ images=”3488,3487″ layout=”3″ gallery_style=”2″ onclick=”link_image” custom_links_target=”_self” img_size=”medium”][vc_column_text]Reed, a Divider<\/em> by Xiaoyu Ji<\/span><\/p>\n

Reed is a divider between land and lake; this project is a divider between changing spaces. The raw materials for the pieces are reed, pulp and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC).[\/vc_column_text][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” interval=”3″ images=”3489,3490,3491,3492″ layout=”4″ gallery_style=”2″ onclick=”link_image” custom_links_target=”_self” img_size=”medium”][vc_column_text]Cellulose Leather<\/em> by Riina Ruus-Prato<\/span><\/p>\n

These experiments with different kinds of cellulosic materials ended up with a\u00a0very leather-like\u00a0cellulose sheet, perfectly fitting the material for a drum. The leather <\/em>was manipulated and stretched, and finally the essence of a drum was captured \u2013 the vibrancy in its sound.[\/vc_column_text][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” interval=”3″ images=”3495,3496,3497,3498″ layout=”4″ gallery_style=”2″ onclick=”link_image” custom_links_target=”_self” img_size=”medium”][vc_column_text]DiscoWood<\/em> by Alexander Munsters<\/span><\/p>\n

The mycelium of a fungi (Chlorociboria Aeruginascens<\/em>)<\/em> descends a pigment which causes discoloration of the infected wood. This piece of wood was found in Nuuksio National park.[\/vc_column_text][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” interval=”3″ images=”3499,3500,3501″ layout=”4″ gallery_style=”2″ onclick=”link_image” custom_links_target=”_self” img_size=”medium”][vc_column_text]Banana Blossom<\/em> by Jin-young Chun<\/span><\/p>\n

Banana peels are usually just thrown away. How about using the waste for new materials, possibly mixed with nanocellulose?[\/vc_column_text]

<\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text]Cattail lace<\/em> by Marjut Alitalo<\/span><\/p>\n

In these pieces, the delicate patterns found in cattails are accentuated by using the plant itself as the main material for these artistic explorations, mixed with carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC).[\/vc_column_text][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” interval=”3″ images=”3502,3503,3504,3505″ layout=”4″ gallery_style=”2″ onclick=”link_image” custom_links_target=”_self” img_size=”medium”][vc_column_text]Copy\/Paste<\/em> by Heikki Konu<\/span><\/p>\n

The project studies how grass clippings mixed with nanocellulose work with building a large-scale sculpture.[\/vc_column_text][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” interval=”3″ images=”3506,3507,3508″ layout=”4″ gallery_style=”2″ onclick=”link_image” custom_links_target=”_self” img_size=”medium”][vc_column_text]Cultivating the Error<\/em> by Martha Jessen<\/span><\/p>\n

What was initially a consequence of a slight misunderstanding of controlled testing, led into intentionally provoking the protocol of the process where dissolved cellulose acetate sets into a solid form.[\/vc_column_text][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” interval=”3″ images=”3509,3510″ layout=”4″ gallery_style=”2″ onclick=”link_image” custom_links_target=”_self” img_size=”medium”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_column_text]Sound Absorber <\/em>by Anna-Riikka Nuutinen<\/span><\/p>\n

This is a prototype for a compostable space divider with sound absorbing capabilities. The material is wood-based textile fibres and thermoforming polylactic acid (PLA) that can be produced out of corn or sugar beets.[\/vc_column_text][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” interval=”3″ images=”3511,3512,3513,3514″ layout=”4″ gallery_style=”2″ onclick=”link_image” custom_links_target=”_self” img_size=”medium”][vc_column_text]Bio City<\/em> by Simona Kliuciute<\/span><\/p>\n

In the future, biomaterials being used in architecture and urban design won\u2019t be unique \u2013 on the contrary, they will occupy every aspect of human life. Ingredients for this concept city are coffee waste collected from the local cafes, agar-agar (seaweed) and calcium carbonate.[\/vc_column_text][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” interval=”3″ images=”3515,3516,3517,3518″ layout=”4″ gallery_style=”2″ onclick=”link_image” custom_links_target=”_self” img_size=”medium”][vc_column_text]Potato Project<\/em> by Riko Omata<\/span><\/p>\n

Finland is a country of potatoes: they are cooked, baked and smashed. Potatoes are the original source of inspiration for this biodegradable tableware. All pieces are made of potato-derived materials and nanocellulose.[\/vc_column_text][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” interval=”3″ images=”3519,3520″ layout=”3″ gallery_style=”2″ onclick=”link_image” custom_links_target=”_self” img_size=”medium”][vc_column_text]Fruit Mobile<\/em> by Miu Tanaka<\/span><\/p>\n

Biowaste could be used to produce colourful and light materials for home decoration.[\/vc_column_text]

<\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text]ReWood<\/em> by Linda Vanni<\/span><\/p>\n

The original, tactile qualities of wood are retrieved by creating wall\u00a0tiles from sawdust, carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and glycerol. The surfaces aim to create a balance\u00a0between a visually controlled\u00a0appearance and organic,\u00a0even natural\u00a0texture.[\/vc_column_text][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” interval=”3″ images=”3522,3523,3524″ layout=”3″ gallery_style=”2″ onclick=”link_image” custom_links_target=”_self” img_size=”medium”][vc_column_text]My Fruit Waste<\/em> by Zuika Owada<\/span><\/p>\n

We produce lots of wasted peel when eating fruits, however, that waste could be used to produce new kind of synthetic leather. This material is made of gelatin, glycerin, water, and fruit peels.[\/vc_column_text]

<\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text]Evol <\/em>by Sushant Passi<\/span><\/p>\n

Evol is a series of artistic explorations with two\u00a0natural materials from trees:\u00a0cellulose and natural rubber latex. The end result has been used to imagine an evolution of new, tactile and organic plant-like\u00a0species.[\/vc_column_text][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” interval=”3″ images=”3525,3526,3527″ layout=”3″ gallery_style=”2″ onclick=”link_image” custom_links_target=”_self” img_size=”medium”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_column_text]Plume<\/em> by Sini West<\/span><\/p>\n

Chicken feathers are currently seen as waste, but they can be a valuable raw material. Plume<\/em> is research on the potential use of chicken feathers for bioplastics and other new product applications.[\/vc_column_text][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” interval=”3″ images=”3528,3529,3530″ layout=”3″ gallery_style=”2″ onclick=”link_image” custom_links_target=”_self” img_size=”medium”][vc_column_text]Fluffy Waste<\/em> by Enni Karell<\/span><\/p>\n

Have you ever thought how much loose dog hair there is? This non-woven material is produced out of dog hair collected from peoples\u2019 homes and dog saloons. It was mixed with carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) in order to prepare it for various products.[\/vc_column_text][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” interval=”3″ images=”3531,3532,3533,3534″ layout=”4″ gallery_style=”2″ onclick=”link_image” custom_links_target=”_self” img_size=”medium”][vc_column_text]Nexus <\/em>by Tomi Jeskanen<\/span><\/p>\n
