10. bioMATTERS - MYCO‐ALGA.

MYCO-ALGA is a non-repetitive interior tiling system, fabricated by 3D printing mycelium, algae, and upcycled waste materials.

Developed by bioMATTERS, a New York City and London based biodesign studio, the tiles are 100% biodegradable, offering sustainable, ecological, and circular design solutions for enhancing interior spaces.

They are designed with computational algorithms, 3D printed, grown, and enriched with bio-pigments to add natural colour.

The finished tiles express the natural off-white colour of mycelium and light green algae, and have a soft, velvet-like texture and tactile quality.

Each tile is unique, resulting in continuously varying patterns when assembled across a larger surface.
