Bulgarian designer and researcher Ninela Ivanova and British deigner Sebastian Cox have teamed to create something quite unusual - lightweight, compostable stools and lights made from green-wood waste bound together with mycelium fungus. Their project Mycelium + Timber can be seen at Somerset House  as part of Design Frontiers exhibition during London Design Festival 2017.
