Material Stories
This is a compilation of our community-led conservational projects for preserving both natural materials and cultural heritage. Our initiatives not only conserve the environment but also empower local communities by preserving their cultural identity and fostering sustainable development.
Eggshell
Every crack leads to new possibilities – each fragment and shard moulded and transformed. Breathing new life into modern spaces, this revolutionary innovation turns natures delicate remnants into a force of imagination and application. Offering a perfect blend of style and sustainability, eggshell reimagines eco-consciousness as art.
Coconut
Living up to its name as “the tree of life”, coconuts are versatile in playing significant roles in shaping and enriching both subsistence and economic efforts. From its leaves and fruits to its trunks and roots, each part of the tree offers a wealth of resources – a living testament to nature’s ingenuity. With such extensive utilisation, it is not only a charm in the tropics but an asset and a symbol of sustainability everywhere it flourishes.
Mango
Even the smallest elements can make the biggest impact. The humble mango seed – often discarded as waste, but now finding a second life as a sustainable material for interior design. This innovative use of mango seeds not only reduces waste but also inspires a new wave of green living, proving that even the smallest parts of nature can play a big role in creating a more sustainable future.
