Have you ever seen a rug chair orreflective concrete? How about the idea of wooden textiles? Today we will tell you about 5 of the most unusual materials in the world. We decided to please you with another portion of cool things and made a small review of the most interesting materials.
Glowing concrete
Our hit parade is opened by the brainchild of Germandevelopers – BlingCrete. It has all the properties of concrete, but has one unique quality that concrete does not have: it reflects light. This effect is provided by glass balls with a diameter of about 6 mm. This decorative element does not affect the quality of the finished concrete. It is reliable, strong, resistant to various factors. It is especially good to use it at bus stations, stops, in subways and along roads to increase safety and reduce the number of accidents. And, of course, it can be appreciated by lovers of creating unusual art objects!
Textiles made of wood
We awarded second place to the works of designer ElizaStrozik is from Germany. She surprised all her teachers when she presented wooden textiles as her diploma work. Yes, it is hard to believe, but she made tablecloths, curtains, bedspreads and carpets from a fabric base and small pieces of wood that she found in a carpentry workshop. This reveals such materials as fabric and wood from an unusual side. Flexible and pliable fabric and hard and durable wood, combined with each other, create amazing geometry that you can enjoy for hours.
Bioplastic facade
The world of building materials does not stand still.Proof of this is the innovative ArboSkin material from the German company Tecnaro. This is a bioplastic, which is 90% biopolymers, and the rest is mineral substances that protect it from ultraviolet radiation. The material is made in the form of small plates, from which facades of any shape and size can then be created. At the same time, it is not afraid of fire, temperature changes and sunlight. To demonstrate ArboSkin in action, its developers went beyond the usual presentation and built a model of a façade of 145 sq. m. from bioplastic (from 388 triangular plates).
Carpet chair
What modern designers don’t doThey will think of it! A few easy movements – and a cozy rug turns into… a comfortable chair! The outlandish thing Wool-Aluminum is an invention of Renata Vos from the Netherlands. She likes to make unusual objects of modern art from ordinary materials. Indeed, such a chair can easily claim the role of the main art object in the interior. It consists of aluminum rods, which are connected to each other with woolen threads, and can also play the role of a bedside rug. Simple, original and homely cozy! Such a thing will definitely appeal to the kids.
Mushroom packaging
One mushroom, two mushrooms – and you get a new oneBiodegradable packaging Mushroom Materials for transporting all sorts of things. The world surprises us every day! Now boxes, containers, even chairs are grown from mushrooms. The developers of this miracle material claim that it can even be used to insulate walls. The idea of growing material from mushroom mycelium belongs to specialists from the American company Ecovative Design. First, the mycelium is placed in special forms, and after they are completely filled with biomaterial, they are subjected to heat treatment. And voila: the new material is ready!
