Danish firm Natural Material Studio has created biomaterials out of sawdust salvaged from the sawmill of flooring manufacturer Dinesen, to explore the potential of using wood waste to make building materials.
“It makes sense to utilise the whole tree and to build value into the residue so that we stop thinking there is a difference between the premium wood and the discarded parts”, says studio founder Bonnie Hvillum.
“It’s really about designing systems for all parts of the raw tree – from the bark to the core planks,” she told design magazine Dezeen.
