Coastone
Coastone represents a novel bio-material that aims to demonstrate the potential of naturally sourced substances. By utilising materials found in close proximity, it effectively reduces carbon emissions associated with transportation.
Coastone offers the advantage of easy recasting, with the objective of encouraging individuals to value the material itself rather than solely focusing on its physical form. Currently, it takes the form of a home décor piece, enabling users to gain inspiration and appreciate the versatility of this material. The primary goal of Coastone is to emphasise the importance for designers to possess a profound comprehension of their materials, enabling them to utilise them more efficiently in their creative endeavours.
