Biodegradable materials and textiles for the digital world
As our digital world expands, do physical interfaces always have to be rigid, made of precious metals, and everlasting? What if we could design stimulating, non-toxic, and more sustainable alternatives? We could create flexible, textured, and biodegradable interfaces that turn back into soil once they're no longer needed.
Interact with a woven bio-based interface made from wood cellulose, carbon-based conductive materials, natural dyes and fibres, designed to disassemble and degrade when its purpose is fulfilled.
