For her Master’s project, the designer researched the usability of natural waste materials such as egg shells, nuts and cocoa beans as composites. She developed a process using biopolymers as a binder. The material is 100% biologically degradable and can be used for many purposes – for product design or interior design work. Shapes, colors and patterns can be varied, and each product is unique. “Pebbles” is a decorative wall hook with an integrated shelf.
