Zena Holloway presents the latest Rootfull collection during London Design Festival this year and it is full of intriguing sculptures and products along with wearables. All of these are made entirely from grassroots and mark the first edition of the Materials Matter design fair.
The capsule features a unique dress that comes with a collar piece, inspired by coral and the dynamic structure of the material. It is followed by artful wall hangings and lamps that are detailed with coral-like textures. The capsule pushes boundaries of the root-grown textiles and how they can be used in the future for a more sustainable angle. Additionally, Holloway also uses the roots as a 3D printer to create new patterns so no two pieces are exactly a replica.
