Blattwerk

Daniel Silva Friedrich (studio KUSIKUY) & Alexander Ebert | Hochschule der Bildenden Künste Saar

In the experimental product series Blattwerk, the existing but unused raw material of urban foliage is processed into a material that has the potential to replace and/or complement conventional wood panel materials. The advantages lie in lower energy consumption during production and in the reduced impact of deforestation. Thanks to the use of plastic-free glues, the material can be completely degraded and returned to the biological cycle. The colour, shape and structure differ depending on the type of leaf.
