Investigating Biomaterials

Mycelium Composite album packaging
Exit, Nois Rec.


Looking into materials that can participate in natural cycles easily and readily, I began employing biomaterials into design projects. Depicted here are process images from an ongoing project for Nois Rec.’s physical release of the album Exit.

The themes in the music relate to life cycles, so creating CD packaging that had it’s own life cycle felt appropriate. Furthermore, the CD is practically dead. This case doubles as a casket for the format.

I’m currently collaborating with Kineco to produce the cases.
