Substitute Materials For Seaweed New Uses Textiles

< p > the so-called one thousand readers in the hearts of one thousand Hamlett, an ordinary seaweed, there are also many things to do.

The Japanese regard it as a dish, while the Chinese use it to build walls and tiles, but the Germans see the inspiration of art.

In 2007, German artist and < a target= "_blank" href= "http://www.91se91.com/" > designer /a /a Julia Roman (Julia Lohmann) first saw this strange creature of "soft inside and outside" during her trip to Japan.

"I haven't seen seaweed from small to large, so I didn't take it as a food preconceptions."

Standing in front of the endless seaweed farm, she realized that she had finally found the "a target=" _blank "href=" http://www.91se91.com/ "textile" /a "substitute material.

< /p >

Below P, everything seems logical. Roman soon became a leader in the field of interior design.

In 2010, he was invited to form the Department of algae in the Vitoria Albert Museum in London.

From the wine cabinet, desk lamp, restaurant screen to the bench decoration, its works are all inclusive. Not only are the materials used in the original ecological seaweed, but also the styling design is used for reference to the sea grass's swaying streamline feeling in the water.

Today, seaweed has become the favorite of interior designers.

< p > however, seaweed as an alternative to textiles is not at all good at first, and its unique colloidal texture and strong sea smell seem destined to be difficult to please.

Asian countries have made remarkable achievements in commercialized farming, but most of them value their nutritional value.

According to the report issued by the food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations in 2011, seaweed is one of the most valuable aquaculture crops in the world, with a global GDP of up to US $7 billion 350 million per year. According to the report issued by the food and Agriculture Organization of the United States in 2011,

< p > in the eyes of designers represented by Roman, the mainstream value of commercial level and the non mainstream colors of design level endow the unique characteristics of seaweed.

The yacht interior made by Luo Man, a handmade furniture maker Deutsche Werkstatten Hellerau, has an amazing silky texture. After painting, the handle feels as different as the wooden veneer, but the material is stronger and more sustainable. And the Israeli designer Neal Meirui (Nir Meiri), who also likes seaweed, gives the "navigation lights series" unparalleled modernity with Baroque gorgeous design.

Mei believes that the "natural beauty" of seaweed brings unique flavor to the product. "It can be red, green or brown, with a very rich color and plucent texture."

With the passage of time, the natural color gradually recedes, but it shows the flavor of vicissitudes.

< p > truly promoting the algal aesthetics to the extreme is the hand throwing silver bottle series of Tim Simpson (Tim Simpson) and Sarah Van Cameron (Sarah van Gameren) two designers.

Each silver bottle has a unique seaweed theme. They regularly collect materials from the beaches near Eastbourne. They put each seaweed on the surface of the sensitive porcelain, and then put the porcelain into the darkroom. After a while, they can wash out a fine and fine pattern of seaweed.

"We will deal with different plants in different ways. However, seaweed is always our favorite, and it will make the details more vivid if it is hidden."

Simpson believed that there was a contradictory aesthetic feeling in seaweed, which was composed of tenacity and softness without bones.

P > seaweed has been tagged with fashion labels, but in the past three or two years, modern cities are far behind the aborigines. From Japan to Australia to Denmark, seaweed basket, seaweed roof and seaweed mattress have been popular in the tribes for centuries.

In the remote island of Islands, Denmark, seaweed has been used as building material for more than 700 years.

The trees are scarce on the island, and the algae grow up, creating this wonder.

Unfortunately, with the development of modern technology, the traditional seaweed house has become extinct, and there are only more than 20 on the island today.

Realdania Byg, a Danish nonprofit organization, organized a "modern seaweed house" competition to prove a conjecture: is it possible to build a house with seaweed after 700 years?

< /p >

< p > Tegnestuen Vandkunsten, led by architect Soren Nelson (Soren Nielsen), finally won the top spot in Copenhagen.

"Studies have shown that seaweed has excellent insulation properties. Therefore, we use it to build thermal insulation roofs and outer wall cladding. The latter is also aimed at highlighting the theme of seaweed house in appearance, playing a decorative role and paying tribute to the local tradition."

Nelson also used seaweed as a ceiling covering and found that the sound insulation effect was unexpected.

P another advantage of seaweed is "exceptionally clean", and its cellular structure and inherent salty smell repellent thousands of miles away from mold and pests.

"Very strong, tough, very durable, and it doesn't absorb water.

For roofing, it will last for hundreds of years.

If handled properly, there will be a fresh grass smell after drying.

< /p >

The answer to "P > < a href=" http://www.91se91.com/pioneer/ "> Soren Nelson < /a > seems to have been self-evident.

The next question is: is technical feasibility already intact? Will commercial production be far behind?

Although European designers are full of amazing skills, they will be unable to make bricks without straw. Perhaps China, which has the right place and the right place, will become a new starting point for the seaweed competition.
