Forme spaziali?.. Forse, ma soprattutto, materiali biologici!
Spatial shapes?..,Perhaps,but above all, biological materials!
To a sugary green tea solution we add a mixed culture of bacterial cellulose, yeasts and other microorganisms to produce a flexible cellulose mat. The bacteria feed on the sugar and spin fine threads of cellulose. As these start to stick together they form a skin on the liquids surface. After two to three weeks, when it is approximately 1.5cm thick, we remove the cellulose skin from the growth bath. We can then either use it wet to mold onto a 3D form, like a dress shape, or dry it flat and then cut and sew it into a garment.We can readily dye and print on the material and since it requires far less dye than other fibres it has a huge environmental advantage”
