This project stemmed from the desire to design a new alternative material, inspired by bioplastics, that is low tech, plant based and biodegradable, as a sustainable way to create temporary forms and disposable products. Focusing on the seed husk of the Psyllium plant as our main source for material creation, we investigated how to get as close to a stable and usable material form as possible. Using 'trial and error’ experiments and learning from what we saw, felt, smelt and played with, we gradually got closer to understanding the properties and limits of our material.
