Mycelium

#BioMaterial #Reasearch

The natural world is shaped by interdependent relationships, where plants, fungi, and animals coexist, influencing each other in ways that promote resilience and growth. This project takes inspiration from the symbiosis found in forests, particularly the unique relationships that trees form with surrounding organisms like mycelium, understory plants, and even the air and soil. Historically, woodworking has often separated the final product from the living environment of the tree itself. “Forest Echo” seeks to challenge this, instead blending the identity of the forest into the object to maintain the interconnected nature of the original habitat. This approach is intended to raise awareness of the importance of ecological systems, inspire sustainable craftsmanship, and redefine the relationship between furniture and nature.
