Maurizio Montalti - a multidisciplinary designer, researcher, artist, and engineer - has created a
Bio-Cover with the help of which it is very easy to achieve something considered until recently impossible - to
facilitate degrading plastic chairs.
"recent mycological research has demostrated the
ability of this model white-rot fungus in decomposing phenolic resins
and more generally in degrading plastics, by literally feeding on them. In order to translate my overall research and address issues related to
disposability, plastic toxicity, and the possibility of having fungi
being able to “kill” this immortal materials, i focused my attention on a
globally well-known iconic object: the plastic monobloc chair."
