MYCELIUM
The mycelium incubator is a contained system, which propagates the growth of mycelium. Mycelium is the fast growing hyphae root system of mushrooms, which creates a plastic/foam like material. It can be mixed with waste produce, such as coffee grounds, and grown into forms. By creating bio based alternatives to harmful materials such as plastic, we can enter into a new bio era where we grow what we consume, making us symbiotic with our environment and reducing our negative impact.

THE ALBERT
Portable Mulberry Hairdryer
I created my own brief This project was based on reverse engineering and brand extension. Before designing my product I did a product autopsy on a hairdryer to find out how it works and it's components. My final design is a compact hairdryer which fits within handbags. The target market are women who are out and about but are worried about their appearance. This useful device means that you are able to style and dry your hair no matter where you are, if you're in a rush or whether you were caught off guard by the weather.
