𝗔𝗺𝗮𝗱𝗼𝘂: 𝗔 𝗛𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗰 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗮 𝗙𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 Amadou, a material derived from the tinder fungus (Fomes fomentarius), has been used for centuries in textiles and fire-starting. With its leather-like texture, it remains highly relevant today as a vegan, biodegradable, and low-impact alternative to animal leather. The Kääpä+ and the Trapetsi projects, led by Mari Koppanen, explores amadou’s potential in modern design. By repurposing offcuts into a form-pressed composite, the Trapetsi project integrates amadou into lighting design, resulting in unique lamp prototypes where the material’s warm tones and translucency create a soft diffusion of light. Using a non-toxic, compostable cellulose-based binder, Kääpä+ demonstrates how fungal materials can be both functional and beautiful. Mari Koppanen, a Finnish designer and researcher, specialises in fungal biomaterials. Her work bridges traditional craftsmanship and future material innovations, expanding the possibilities for sustainable design.

𝗚𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗕𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸𝘀 𝗮 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲 Brukspecialisten is redefining material reuse in Sweden’s construction industry by specialising in reclaimed bricks. By salvaging high-quality bricks from demolition sites, the company reduces waste while preserving architectural heritage.
 Reclaimed bricks not only lower emissions by reducing demand for new materials but also add depth and character to contemporary designs. Through their Rebrick range Brukspecialisten ensures that each brick meets modern construction standards while retaining its unique patina. Brukspecialisten's products have already found application in a number of projects, including the Sköndalsvillan, the Bålsta Resecentrum, and the Furutorpsparken.

 The Reimagine Collection, curated by Martha Lewis, which embodies the spirit of reuse, reprogramming, and rethinking material selection in the built environment. This collection emphasises the use of materials that reduce environmental impact while safeguarding both planetary and human health. 

 The Reimagine Collection showcases innovative bio-based options like Gramitherm's Gramitherm® 100, a grass-based insulation with low GWP and significant renewable energy content, alongside Expanded Corkboard Insulation (ICB) from Amorim Cork Solutions, which not only sequesters carbon but is produced with nearly 100% renewable energy. 

 In addition to biogenic materials, the Reimagine Collection features eco-friendly finishes such as clay plasters and rammed earth mixes from BC materials, as well as Fischer Lighting's reused lighting systems, proving that sustainability can be seamlessly integrated into interior spaces. 

 The Reimagine Collection encourages you to rethink construction with environmentally conscious materials. All materials are accompanied by detailed environmental data such as GWP, net fresh water consumption, and energy mix, making it easier than ever to make informed, sustainable choices.
