The Bridge of Digital & Natural Fabrication
Generated by a digital algorithm, fabricated by 3D Printing, and completed by the natural growth of mushrooms, Stool Pleurotus starts from the idea of bridging digital fabrication with natural growth, appreciating the wisdom from both sides. What is more existing is that you, the user, can be a part of the creative process by growing, picking, and cooking the mushroom. All of this can be achieved through feeding the parameters to the algorithm to breed and grow the gills of the mushroom digitally, and what's left for the user is to hand in the magic stick to nature to complete the growing process. It is not only a stool but a Sculpture, a micro-farm, a service & a Lifestyle
