Eric Klarenbeek and Maartje Dros collaborate on R&D and design projects, striving for local new economies and production chains, material development and durable design objects. For their projects they connect Universities, high-tech companies as well as farmers and local producers.
The mycelium Project started with the creation of the Mycelium Chair (NL, 2010), which was published and exhibited extensively and resulted in the founding of a company for mycelium based products named Krown (krown.bio, NL, 2015).
The studio currently works on the further development of biopolymers from local sources, 3D Bakery (NL, 2015), AMS âCircular Supply Chain for the Cityâ (NL, 2016), the Algae Lab at Luma, Arles (FR, 2017 and ongoing), and scaling their dutch seaweed biopolymer production, resulting in eco-compatible Algae based products by integrating fully circular carbon capturing production methods.
