In the search for sustainable materials, almost nothing is off the table. We’ve seen “grown” decor made from mushrooms, leather made from banana skin, even house bricks made from sugarcane. The world’s crops, whether edible or otherwise, is undoubtedly the most expanding arena for material designers to find new ways forward for a more ecological future.
One of our latest discoveries is a food waste that, in our homes, seems so small you may not have ever thought about it as waste at all. While you might enjoy a good bowl of olives, those little pits left over are being transformed into new materials that can be used to create furniture, and more, for your home.
