Starch contrast: A union of craft and industry

The pieces were made using old weaving techniques from a starch-based plastic called Solanyl. The material is industrially produced, but naturally biodegradable. Griffin describes the work as ‘a marriage of industrial chemistry and traditional knowledge that allows for a more flexible system of production and design’.

Trade Union is on show as part of the Man and Living: Human section of the Our Way graduate exhibition curated by Ilse Crawford. Look out for more of LS:N Global’s coverage of Dutch Design Week in our Seed and Shows sections.
