Mycelium–Earth Bio-Composite Furniture Structure

SKU: EP-2024030201

Category: Sustainable Materials

The Mycelium–Earth Bio-Composite Furniture Structure is a regenerative material system created by combining mycelium with a blend of soil, sand, and organic agricultural waste. As the mycelium grows, it binds the surrounding particles into a solid, sculptural, and naturally textured form—without synthetic adhesives or industrial additives. Once dried, the composite becomes lightweight yet structurally robust, enabling the creation of furniture and spatial objects that merge biological growth with human craft.

Designed for experimental design, artisanal manufacturing, and circular material innovation, this composite can be molded into complex geometries, supporting both functional objects and sculptural works. Its earthy surface, warm tactility, and fully biodegradable composition position it as an alternative to conventional furniture materials such as plastics, foams, and resin-based composites.

Why It Matters

The Mycelium–Earth Bio-Composite Furniture Structure represents a shift toward regenerative material thinking—one where design is grown rather than manufactured. By harnessing mycelium as a natural binder, the process transforms soil, sand, and organic waste into durable functional forms without emissions-intensive processing. After its useful life, the material naturally returns to the earth, leaving no environmental burden.

This composite aligns with MIOLISM’s ongoing mission to explore future materials that integrate ecological responsibility, craft innovation, and long-term sustainability in design and architecture.
