from biowaste

into artisanal

biomaterials

Banana peel + Seaweed


Material crafted from banana peels carefully collected by my co-working mates, cotton batting leftovers from upholstery workshops and seaweed in the form of alginate.

To the touch it feels like a silicon material, amazingly soft and foldable, and distressingly similar to a skin.


This bio-composite can be hand or machine sewn, glued, laser cut and treated either with plant-based wood wax or with lanolin (wool wax) to make it water repellent.

Bacterial Cellulose BC


Co-created leather like material with the help from bacteria and yeast fed by apple leftovers.

To the touch it feels like soft leather; very flexible, resistent and easily moldeable. It can be customized to achieve wanted features like thickness, color, haptic, etc.


BC can be hand or machine sewn, glued, laser cut and engraved, embossed; treated either with plant-based wood wax or with lanolin (wool wax) to make it water repellent.

Mushrooms + Seaweed


Material crafted from mushroom leftovers and seaweed in the form of alginate. To the touch it feels like a robust leather; together with natural fabrics like hemp and raw cotton creates a very nice material for bags and accesories.


This bio-composite can be hand or machine sewn, glued, laser cut, engraved and treated either with plant-based wood wax or with lanolin (wool wax) to make it water repellent.

Why textiles from biowaste

Why can´t we throw „compostable“ plastic
