Custom-Textiles Made From Algae (Cedit: Violainebuet.com)
Industrial designer Violaine Buet creates and manufactures custom-made pieces of biodegradable algae textiles. She aims to “ennoble the ancient algae from its natural state to novel utilizations from the fine and living arts, haute couture, scenography and decoration to visual merchandising and industry.” Seaweed offers quite a varied aesthetic and technical palette of properties when it comes to design and craftsmanship. It can be woven, dyed, sewn, printed, embossed, engraved, braided or pressed and it works perfectly in interaction with the expertise and tools inspired from crafts.
