SÊLO
Upcycled biomaterial
SÊLO is the result of an intense process of research and experimentation with waste matter. The continuous accumulation of residues, generated by the linear economy, has become a pressing issue for the environment. Recently, the take-make-dispose chain is being challenged by a more circular system. A key aspect of this process is the recycling of materials. The aim of this project was to use an easily sourced, light, and local residue – eggshells – to create a biodegradable and sustainable material that can find multiple uses in the world of design.
Wonderful project. The research process to use eggshells as a biomaterial is powerful and the outcome fascinating. Also, the video and PDF presentations by students are perfectly realized.
WINNER STATEMENTI am deeply honored and grateful to receive this iF DESIGN TALENT AWARD. It inspires me to keep working hard and reach beyond my boundaries.
