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! is an award-winning Bratislava-based design and research practice working at the intersection of material innovation, ecology, and technology. Through in-depth research into bio-based and biodegradable material systems, the studio develops responsive materials and living environments that challenge extractive production models, proposing new relationships between humans, materials, and the ecosystems they inhabit
