7. BioFabricating Materials

I. References & Inspiration

Recycled eggshells

One particularly interesting example of biomaterial fabrication I came across is Carrelé, an ecologically sustainable collection of wall tiles created by Nature Squared. Every year, around 250,000 tonnes of chicken eggshell waste are generated worldwide, most of which ends up in landfills. In response, Carrelé transforms this overlooked waste into beautifully handcrafted wall tiles, showcased as part of an installation at the Rossana Orlandi Gallery in Milan.
