Quadrifoglio: gradual furniture

A series of stools with gradual material and colour properties, suited for indoors and outdoors, robotically 3d-printed with sustainable biocomposite materials based on wood and cellulose fibres as well as recycled polymers.

The blended materials combine a great number of material types and a wide range of property profiles. The materials are up to 100% bio-based. Depending on the formula, they contain biopolymers such as polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), polycaprolactone (PCL), polyester (e.g. bio-PET), starch, polylactic acid (PLA), bio-polyolefins (bio-PE), bio-polyamides (bio-PA), lignin, natural resins, natural waxes, natural oils, natural fatty acids, cellulose, organic additives and natural reinforcing fibres. The materials are designed to be biodegradable or resistant depending on the intended application.
