The Natural Material Space Divider uses 100% natural materials. Sawdust, wood shavings and ground up post-consumer wine corks are mixed with a solution of water and agar agar. Once the batches of mixed bio-composite paste are laid out into flat sheets and dried, they are laser cut into uniform rectangles with holes along the edges. The sheets of mycelium are made by laying moist reishi mycelium substrate into flat sheets and texturing them, then dehydrating them to solidify the form. They are then hand cut. Each panel is laced into the fir wood frame using cotton yarn. The divider can be fully disassembled and either repurposed for other uses or composted.
