Alternative to synthetic materials
Mycelium can grow into fully formed structures, with different consistencies.
It can be used for various applications, even as a replacement for some plastic materials.
By elaborating the archetypal sculptural works through a design project, a unique piece of furniture is created.
The uniqueness of the archetypal sculpture can be transferred to the virtual world or notarized thanks to the tools of web 3.0 and blockchain registers.
The furnishing objects in cast metal are made with the lost wax technique.
Wanderart has launched a research project to optimize the production of the works starting from the 3D printing of a prototype: the method and materials are being researched which allow for the casting in bronze or aluminum directly from the "positive model".
The elaboration of the digital CAD model allows to use algorithms or scripts to generate new textures, new thicknesses and designs.
Mycelium can grow into fully formed structures, with different consistencies.
It can be used for various applications, even as a replacement for some plastic materials.
The mycelium is able to grow in a few weeks, in optimal temperature and humidity conditions, inside suitable moulds.
The mycelium furnishing accessories are intended for the conscious luxury market. The molds are made starting from the 3D CAD model. The mycelium products are then coated with cellulose pulp and other natural-based materials in order to protect the surface.
During growth, to form the final structure, the mycelium stores CO2. The result is a completely biodegradable and biosustainable product.
