Mycelium Composite Stool
At the intersection of biology and materials science, mushrooms are emerging as a promising focus of study. Mycelium, the vegetative part of a fungus, is a renewable, biodegradable, and growing material that eats plant waste and creates strong and durable structures.
Mycelium-based composites can be categorized as foams due to their high porosity and slight rigidity. In this project, mycelium has been combined with a cotton fabric mold, in which the material grows and remains integrated into the object at the end of the process.
The raw esthetic of the stool is radical, in the same way shiny colors and fluid shapes of the early design experiments with polymers used to be.
