Back to the Roots – Experimental Furniture

On view from June 4 to September at the IKEA Museum, in collaboration with Möbeldesignmuseum.


This exhibition presents a stool, chair, and table made from bark, sawdust, and mycelium—materials typically discarded by the wood industry. Developed as part of the master’s thesis Back to the Roots, the furniture explores new bio-based design methods inspired by forest ecosystems, traditional carpentry, and posthumanist thinking. Each piece embodies a low-tech, circular approach to architecture and interior design—rethinking waste as a resource for future making.
