An interdisciplinary studio pioneering circular design and bio-based materials.
ABOUT
We are Crafting Plastics, an award-winning studio operating at the intersection of science and design. By offering design concepts, prototypes, and biobased solutions crafted from oil-free, compostable materials, we contribute to the emergence of a new generation of biopolymer materials.
Projects
A playful installation showcased at Milan Design Week 2023 features biopolymer lattices that change color, emphasizing the impact of UV radiation.
A collection of bioplastic stools and tables with UV-reactive bioskin that change color in real time, showcasing environmentally responsive biomaterials.
A handmade lighting objects made from bioplastic and colored with natural pigments from flowers and minerals, blending sustainability with artistry.
A furniture piece made from wood and recycled bioplastic, adhering to a no-glue, no-screws philosophy, features sliding panels to reveal or conceal contents.
A sustainable foodware series made from 100% biobased, biodegradable materials, offering a circular alternative to plastic for events, coffee shops, and restaurants.
Connections between design, science and emerging technology
Materials
A new generation of bioplastic material made of 100% renewable raw resources, which is both bio-based and biodegradable, leaving no micro plastics behind nor contributing to global warming.
Born from advanced research, UV-interactive biomaterials change color under ultra violet light, offering eco-friendly and customizable design solutions for diverse industries.
Eco-friendly biomaterials crafted from renewable resources like wood pulp, cellulose, bamboo fibers, and wool-based composites mimic leather's strength.
