Design Driven Value Chains in the World of Cellulose (DWoC) project
Aalto University 2017
The material samples were made in the Design Driven Value Chains in the World of Cellulose (DWoC) project. DWoC is a multidisciplinary research collaboration project funded by TEKES focused on finding new and innovative applications for cellulosic materials. DWoC project combines design thinking and design-driven prototyping with a strong competence in technology development.
The samples have been made of nano-scale wood-based cellulose fibres. Based on the chemical bonding of cellulosic fibres, structures with light and strong properties can be produced without any chemicals. This work is focused on the versatility of materials’ sensorial properties.
