London architecture studio Bureau de Change has produced a range of patterned tiles using Thames Glass, a biomaterial created by artist Lulu Harrison from mussel shells.
Harrison – a student on the Material Futures masters at Central Saint Martin’s – created her bio-glass using the ground-up shells of quagga mussels in combination with local sand and waste wood ash.
