The root is grown for 2 weeks, in moulds carved from beeswax. It’s then harvested, washed, dried and treated with natural ingredients that keep it flexible and durable. As the root grows through the template it forms strong bonds and this delicately interwoven network is beautifully revealed when lit.

Root is a forgotten natural fibre, more commonly found beneath our feet. As it grows, it buries down onto beeswax templates to take the form of the final piece. From seed to harvest, it takes two weeks for the root to form a resilient textile. This is bio-design in its simplest form - harnessing natural processes to grow regenerative and functional materials.

Exhibited at de le Cuona, Chelsea Show Room, London.
