EconitWood transforms the roots of trees harvested for the industry into a biobased product bonded with magnesium. Once considered waste, these roots now complete the circle of life.

The coffee and bedside tables take shape from the peach seed—a symbol of growth and renewal. The acoustic panel, created through CoWave, uses AI guided by positive brainwave reactions to translate human emotions into tangible designs. This process positions the designer as an emotional curator, shaping objects through collaboration with AI.

Discarded materials are given a new purpose. Their life rings are reimagined through digitally inspired biophilic design—a fusion of nature, technology, and creativity.

Exhibition:

Human, nature, technology. What is real? And what is not? How are we supposed to judge this when we are online 24/7 and self-directed algorithms determine part of our lives? When nature-inclusive design seems key in our uncertain future? In the exhibition Human = Non-Human, Kazerne intertwines hope and the power of design. Attractive works explore the boundaries between the human and the non-human. Step out of your virtual bubble and be inspired by an exhibition full of imagination.
