2 days agoGrowing vs. Manufacturing - Studio CREME's Gourd Project
Brooklyn-based CRÈME Architecture & Design has been exploring how to bypass the waste cycle of disposable cups through a biodegradable, molded gourd. CRÈME builds on this centuries-old craft by using molds to grow gourds directly into functional shapes - such as cups and flasks - creating sustainable, renewable, and compostable products with virtually no waste. Their custom-designed, 3D-printed molds echo the silhouette of a classic faceted glass, enabling gourds to grow into a stackable design.
