Senseables

crafting plastics! studio will present "Senseables," an innovative collection of furniture made from biomaterials, designed to interact with its surroundings.
This new collection is a following up on the research into environmentally responsive biomaterials, as exemplified by the Sensbiom's installations by Crafting Plastics! and Dumolab Research. Featured at Alcova Milan and Materials Matters earlier this year, this large-scale interactive pieces changes color in response to UV radiation, highlighting solar radiation changes in real time and raising awareness about the invisible threats through the materials.
The new collection features 3D-printed bioplastic furniture objects with fluid, dynamic surfaces that respond to external stimuli, such as UVR exposure, transforming the novel interactive biomaterials into functional everyday products.

crafting plastics! studio is an award winning circular design and research studio based in Bratislava, Slovakia, founded by Vlasta Kubušová and Miroslav Král in 2016. The studio's practice focuses its expertise on cross-disciplinary research, development, and implementation of new generations of better ecological biocomposites into our current and future day-to-day lives. By combining science and design, cp!s revolutionizes properties, aesthetics, and values of perishable materials - from natural bioplastics to the environmentally responsive biocomposites for design and architecture.
