Biophilia

Design for poly-sensorial biophilic experience

Ongoing experimental design research initiated within Tibor Antony’s dissertation project, Spirulina Lamp, focuses on implementing microalgae into urban interior objects. Spirulina is an organism with multifunctional properties, enabling it to contribute holistically to people’s well-being indoors — especially when considering the oxygen cycle, introducing natural greenery, food, and light.

The project aims to increase the interior artifact efficiency by utilizing the multiple functions that microalgae provide, ranging from the greatest nutritional impact with a low environmental blueprint to creating a poly-sensorial biophilic experience through an integrated indoor object design. The product’s essential part is its internal polyfunctional component; it underwent three distinct stages and gave birth to two successfully registered patents.
