It also actively purifies the air around it. We feature the unique chandelier past the break, along with other examples of furniture and objects that take organic/green matter into consideration.

Designers Jonas Edvard and Nikolaj Steenfatt have used a new material made from seaweed and paper to create a chair and a collection of pendant lamps. Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts graduates Jonas Edvard and Nikolaj Steenfatt harvest fucus seaweed — a type of algae — from the Danish coastline, before drying and grinding it into a powder. It is then cooked into a glue, exploiting the viscous and adhesive effect of alginate – a natural polymer found in the brown algae.
