Imperfect Perfection lighting range is made using bacteria
Studio Lionne van Deursen is presenting a material research project and lighting range made using bacteria for VDF x Ventura Projects.
Exhibitor: Studio Lionne van Deursen
Project title: Imperfect Perfection
Studio Lionne van Deursen is a material research and product design studio.
The studio is introducing its Imperfect Perfection research project during the VDF x Ventura Projects collaboration, in which it has created leather-like sheets of bacterial cellulose.
Bacteria cellulose is a biodegradable material made using yeast and bacteria. As the making process is unpredictable, every sheet has a different colour and translucency.
The studio's first application of the material is in a range of Imperfect Perfection lamps, for which it is used to diffuse the light source. Each lamp is unique, and the variations of each sheet is enhanced using natural pigments.
