001 → Milk Chair

Milk Chair is both a material study and a sculptural provocation — a physical demonstration of the structural and aesthetic potential of a milk-based bioplaster, developed through a process of trial, error, and improvisation. Originally intended as a casein glue, the material evolved unexpectedly into a versatile composite that bonds naturally to wood, metal, fabric, and clay. 

Consumer culture has taught us to value longevity and perfection — placing synthetic materials above biomaterials, which are seen as fragile or impractical. But biomaterials are now beginning to rival their synthetic counterparts in durability, beauty, and strength. Milk Chair resists the false binary of permanence and decay. It proposes that sustainability isn’t about freezing materials in time, but designing for cycles of renewal, adaptation, and ecological return.

This project is a call to rethink materials not as static objects, but as active parts of ecosystems — entities that can be cultivated, evolved, and reimagined, rather than simply extracted and discarded.
