Diving into material crafting and circular systems thinking
Aqua Faba Foam
Paula’s current material research explores vegan compostable bioplastics and foams. These are made with surplus from household and industrial food production.
Her vegan biodegradable tableware has been on display at the London Design Museum and the materials can be found in several material libraries in Europe.
Please note samples are not available as the research is currently on hold due to other projects :)
