The Organic Factory offers domestic objects whose design is intrinsically linked to the use of agromaterials (materials made from agricultural waste, biodegradable under the action of water). It employs these materials as transformed and transformable fragments of nature , whose qualities and symbolic determine specific uses.The Plant Factory plays with continuities and similarities between artificial and natural to propose a set of objects whose shapes and functions are manufactured from nature. Research project initiated for the art center LA CUISINE, in collaboration with the L.C.A. (Laboratory of Agro-Industrial Chemistry in Toulouse, France). Winner of the 2009 "BOURSE AGORA" design award for the design of the autumn / winter range (forthcoming). project assistant : Louis-Eric Maucoult photographs : ©Felipe Ribon & gilles belley http://www.la-cuisine.fr http://www.critt.net/agro_ressource.htm shapeimage_1_link_0shapeimage_1_link_1
