About

The BARBARA project developed a 3D-printed luminous tree-shaped stool combining polyester with almond shell fibres and a green pigment derived from chlorophyll.

The illuminated canopy demonstrates how agricultural sidestreams and bio-based pigments can contribute functionality, colour and distinctive design to interior products.

Key benefits

  • Creates value from agricultural sidestreams
  • Reduces the use of conventional fillers and pigments
  • Demonstrates bio-based materials in interior product design

Application

  • Interior design products
  • Furniture demonstrators
