Cellulose and lignin are the two most abundant organic polymers on earth. While one is used excessively, the other stays largely unexplored, remaining an underutilized by-product. We use it to bind sunflower mulch, a by-product of the natural oil industry, bonding two leftovers in a piece of value.
Concept: Basse Stittgen
Material: Pine lignin, cellulose & buckwheat starch
Production: Basse Stittgen
Cellulose and lignin are the two most common organic polymers on earth. While one is applied abundantly, the other remains largely unexplored and an underutilised by-product. Basse Stittgen uses it to bind buckwheat mulch, binding two scraps into one piece of value. With this, he made table objects for the exhibition with a clear reference to the two most traditional and abundant resources of Ukraine - grain and forest.
Next to that, a soundscape resonates from membranes made from lignin and cellulose that evoke the organic nature of the material and situate it in a dialogue with its industrial processing.
