Hyloh is a global collective that looks at design, manufacturing and business from a materials perspective.
What will tomorrow’s material world look like, influenced by climate change, technology, biofabrication
and widespread waste? The group questions what a smart material is and has the potential to be in various
contexts. Hyloh puts it like this: the best way to predict the future is to create it.

Under natural influences, plastic waste turns into a new material: plastiglomerate.
The mixture of plastic, sediment and other natural debris becomes a rocklike structure,
a transformation that designer Enis Akiev was eager to take advantage of. Her project –
Plastic Stone Tiles: The Nature of Waste – shows that an aesthetically unique material
can act as a new medium that doesn’t deplete natural resources.

Two Belgian circular-driven companies joined forces to
develop C3, a complete circular chair. Resortecs makes
dissolvable stitching threads for easy repair and recycling,
and Motief Atelier is an innovative upholstery company.
The chair is autonomously sustainable: it facilitates
maintenance and control of its own end-of-life cycle.
