In an age of overconsumption and waste, this project explores the hidden potential of natural waste. It addresses the urgent need for sustainable innovation by rethinking material resources.  The project reimagines waste as a resource by reclaiming and reworking leaves into innovative materials. This transformative process creates a tactile experience prompting viewers to rethink their relationship with nature and the resources we use.

Using a material-driven, process-based «Research through Design» approach, leaves are collected, cleaned, softened in an oil bath, and reassembled. A limited quantity of leaves is harvested allowing the material to evolve through minimal and sensitive interventions without industrial transformations.

This new resource provides designers and creators with a fresh medium that challenges conventional notions of value and permanence. It encourages a deeper interaction with materials, sparking dialogues around sustainability, impermanence, and the beauty found within natural waste. By opening new avenues for design, the initiative fosters meaningful engagement with overlooked materials and redefines their aesthetic and functional potential.
