How can the world sustain itself without harmful products? The Jury says This team of four MA students from Kolding School of Design are researching and experimenting in using fungi as a new material basis for design. Fungi produce moldable materials (biopolymers) that could be useful. But how do we feel about products made this way? This speculative design asks us this question whilst at the same time providing a rational basis of feasibility and examples. The jury sees the great potential expressed in the submission.
