BIOPLASTICS EXPERIMENT

Sustainable Materials and Processes class worked in teams of two to experiment with Bioplastics. Their assignment was to identify the appropiate ingredients and ratio that would produce a range of stiff, flexible, matte, textured, and glossy results, and then present and demonstrate to the class.  Ingredients included: gelatin, gylicerin, corn starch, vinegar,milk and potato starch. Some students employed their learnings to cast the final models of the Design Studio projects using bioplastics.

SheetSeat™ is made from a single piece of wood laminate or bamboo. The production process is straightforward, generating almost no waste. The simplicity of the design allows for savings in workmanship, manufacturing costs and energy consumption. The flat panel can be unfolded into the final chair position in a few easy steps, and folded back into the original 3/4 inch thick sheet, facilitating easy stacking and bulk transportation. Collaboration with: Ufuk Keskin

Sheetseat™ has been featured at DWR's M+D+F 2009, IDSANYC's Equilateral 09:02 Exhibitions during New York Design Week and BOFFO Objective Affection Exhibition.
