It's been a busy week for , presenting at

But it's finally Friday, so we're excited to share our latest test.

Introducing NEW COATING 01 on a h**p textile backing!

Our coating on **p and textile is a sustainable and eco-friendly alternative to traditional coated textile.
It's made entirely from European Agricultural Waste yet it's and .

the best part, it is made from so no synthetic, fossil or other fluorine stuff...

no

Most leather substitute needs Polyurethane coating to be water resistant?

At we don't do PU coating.

Here is an 100% biobased coating on a textile backing. It's natural, water repellent andl ook at how it catches the light 🤩🤩 It has a nice soft and rubbery touch!

What would you call a shoe made with prehistoric materials? A Neolithic shoe, maybe? Experimental archeology might be the field that studies this kind of thing, and hunter gatherers are the people who are likely to have the most experience with these kinds of materials. Still, it's an interesting idea. What kind of materials would you use? And how would you make them into shoes? There are lots of different ways to make shoes, and the materials you use would depend on what's available. Prehistoric materials might include things like bone, horn, and rawhide. You could also use plant fibers or even animal fur. The key would be to find materials that are strong and flexible, yet still comfortable to wear. You might also want to consider how the shoes would look. After all, you're not just making functional footwear, you're also creating a fashion statement! Who knows, maybe one day Neolithic shoes will be all the rage!What would you call a shoe made with prehistoric materials? A Neolithic shoe, maybe?

Just before leaving for a well deserved summer break in France🍷 some promising materials from agricultural by-products.🚜

I was very happy to be able to extract from stalks. Look at this nice golden color.

What should I make from these natural fibers?

Bio-material investigation for Lancôme.

Fragrances are distilled from roots, leaves, bark, and flowers,... of various plants. A large quantity of biomass is required to obtain a small quantity of Absolute - the most concentrated form of fragrance. The by-products of these extraction processes can be turned into decorative and functional bio-materials.

This series of materials are made of perfumery by-products.

CaCO3 - stoneware
2015

Stone is extracted from the earth, carved, cut, and assembled to fit a purpose. It cannot be constructed. Technological progress allows mankind to design matter itself but could stone be cultivated or grown into the desired shape?
Together with scientists, geologists and craftsmen, this cross-disciplinary design project studied the geological process of petrification in the French region Auvergne, a none active volcanic area. Over the course of one year, fossils of a new kind have been produced within selected thermo-mineral springs.

From broken car headlights to recycled diffusers?

I am looking at ways to recycle PMMA on a small scale with simple tooling. What do you think?

1000kg of Iris Pallida produce 1kg of Absolute - the most concentrated form of fragrance. We discover that the leftover of this extraction process contains some starch that can be used as a binder for the Iris Leafs.

2 great news in one 🥂

I am happy to release bio-materials developed for Lancôme
The project is part of the exhibition "It’s Our F***ing Backyard" at
