The beauty of ecology in furniture
Aifunghi is a new brand founded in the Netherlands by Marije & Bart Schilder, Michiel Geluk and Mo Aouraghé in recognition and appreciation of sustainable solutions to create high-end design. Their core material is Mycelium Based Composite (MBC), which consists of hemp fibres that are grown together by mycelium, the root-like structure of mushrooms. In nature, the mycelium eventually grows into a fungus, the fruit of the mycelium. However, the result of Aifunghi’s work is not a fungus, but actual pieces of furniture.
