The Terreform ONE Seat is Temporal With a Make of Compostable Mushrooms
References: pressroom.icff & digitaltrends
Terreform ONE is experimenting with the temporality of furniture design by offering consumers a chair made from compostable mushrooms, fittingly titled the Mushroom Chaise. The chair features a detailed and futuristic structural design comprised exclusively from fungi. The chair is built to last for a certain period of time, and then reduce into environmentally friendly waste. The biodegradable design of the movable comments on the waste of mass-produced decor pieces that are only used for short periods of time before discarded.
The Mushroom Chaise is both a functional unit as well a statement on using sustainable materials in building. The chair is fully ecological with a curved skeletal shape that is futuristic as well as eye-catching. Terreform explains that when no longer in use, the furniture piece can be "composted and safely reintroduced back into the environment, where it can be naturally biodegraded"

Trend Themes
1. Temporal Furniture Design - Opportunity for creating furniture that is designed to have a specific lifespan before biodegrading.
2. Compostable Materials - Opportunity for developing products made from sustainable materials that can be safely reintroduced back into the environment.
3. Critique of Mass-produced Decor - Opportunity for addressing the issue of waste generated by short-lived, mass-produced furniture pieces.
Industry Implications
1. Furniture Manufacturing - Opportunity for incorporating sustainable and biodegradable materials into furniture production.
2. Environmental Conservation - Opportunity for promoting the use of compostable materials and reducing waste in the design industry.
3. Sustainable Architecture - Opportunity for integrating biodegradable furniture designs into sustainable building practices.
