In collaboration with VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland, Manuel Arias showcases the potential of biotechnology. The exhibition includes mycelium leather-like materials along with other mycelium-based materials that could offer alternatives to animal and synthetic leather as well as plastics in the near future. A series of material samples in different colours and sizes will be on display along with some conceptual prototypes showcasing the material’s properties and future uses. This exhibition is a visual and tactile playground for future materialities using mycelium.
