BALIK PULLARINDAN YAPILAN GÖZLÜK
İngiliz tasarımcı Erik de Laurens, endüstriyel anlamda değeri olmayan balık pullarından kendi bulduğu bir teknik ile bir cins plastik üretiyor. Bu malzeme ile yüzme gözlüğü, güneş gözlüğü, tablolar ve bardaklar yapmış. rik şimdi araştırmalarını ilerletmek için fon arıyor.
In continuation of ‘the fish feast’ I created a surprising material made of 100% fish scales ( no added compound ). The fishing industry generates several circumstances where many tons of fish scales are leftover. Using this waste as resources for the production of his fish-scale-plastic, I tried to highlight the potentiality of these industrial flaw.
In order to test the material I have designed 3 pairs of goggles and glasses inspired by swimming goggles and a table with an inlay of a fish. I have also extended the range of colours in the tumbler previously designed.
I am currently looking for funding to push the development of this material further.
