BIO-BASED MATERIALS is a research project on materials obtained from biomass. The objective is to investigate an alternative to conventional materials that often have a great negative impact on the environment. The development of these materials obtained from biomass would not only mean an improvement for the planet, but could also offer new sensations, colors, textures, smells and interactions between the user and the object. This project is developed within the framework of the Final Project of the Product Design Title at the EASD Valencia.

„An ocean full of opportunities“ is a research project about the usage of different types of algae and algae based products to create sustainable sequins. The complete biodegradable biopolymer is mainly made from Agar Agar, an algae based gelatine substitute. It can be produced in a variety of shades, structures and looks. The biopolymer is dyed with leftover natural dye baths or colors made from algae.

‘Biotic’ is an ongoing material research to the possibilities of a biologically grown material. In this project microbes are used to grow a biological material which is made of bacterial cellulose, also known as SCOBY. When this layer has dried, it becomes a solid material that has comparable properties to leather. The experiments resulted in a collection of fabrics with different colours, translucency, applied textures and patterns.
'Cheer Project' is a research into pine needles in which this abundant and unwanted material is developed into a 100% bio-based and biodegradable composite material. It has been an experiment to understand the root of a local material and its potential and possibilities in an ever-increasing demand for
