2048 Low Stool
Clara Rúa
2048:Homo agaricus is a Research and Development ongoing project started in 2017 based on experimentation on red algae. When the agar biopolymer is extracted from these, a residue is created: algae flour. The idea is to transform this residue into a new resource, thus closing the circular economy.
As environmentally conscious designers, how can we reduce our ecological footprint?
Oceans offer us a wealth of precious natural resources. The sea tides bring tons of algae to our beaches every day.
