Custom Nuatan bioplastic table tops created for the newly opened .kaviarne.
Nuatan brings a unique, warm and tactile presence to the space, with subtle, intentional irregularities that make each surface feel alive rather than industrially uniform. Through heat-pressing, textures and patterns can be precisely tailored, allowing material expression to become part of the design language itself.

What grows between
milano | .design.week
A vertical system where roots, water, and bioplastics form a shared environment - growing, reacting, and signalling in real time. Subtle shifts in colour reveal changes within, turning invisible processes into something we can perceive.
Not a fixed object, but a structure in constant negotiation with life.
On view at Alcova during Milan Design Week 2026.

In the garden of Baggio Military Hospital in Milan, a hydroponic system unfolds as a living structure.
Modular biocolumns of varying heights create an environment where plants, water, materials, and people exist in continuous exchange.
Rather than a static object, the installation operates as a system that grows, signals and changes over time.
The installation is open daily from 20–26 April, 11 AM – 7 PM. You can find us in the garden space marked A14.

Glad to be part of the Collaborative & Conscious Material Design publication ✨
The book accompanies the exhibition Collaborative & Conscious Material Design, uncovering the stories behind each featured project.
Our contribution reflects a process rooted in experimentation - from lab research and fermentation-based materials to responsive structures and large-scale installations. It also highlights how collaboration across disciplines shaped both the material itself and its potential applications in architecture and product design.
We’re grateful to be included among such inspiring projects and to contribute to a broader conversation on sustainable and environmentally conscious material innovation.
