HABITAT
»Habitat« is an investigation into pine resin as a binder combining carbon-negative biochar, which is derived from biogenic residues through pyrolysis, to develop a new material.

The project focuses on the agency of the material itself, providing objects that enable new modes of co-existence and interactions with other species to promote a more sustainable and liveable future. Due to their materiality, the objects have tendencies that are inherent to living systems: the ability to change, to decay and to return to nature as nutrients.
The project was developed as part of the SBYD Designer-in-Residence programme and was exhibited for the first time at the Dutch Design Week in Eindhoven in 2024.
