‘Future of the Audemars Piguet Presentation Box’:
In collaboration with a brand, we translated regenerative biodesign practices into the industrial realm through the development of a watchbox for Audemars Piguet. This watchbox is crafted from new biochar-based biomaterials, incorporating negative emission technology.
Work in collaboration with Yilin Han, Jordan Murray, and Liv Tsim for Audemars Piguet and Central Saint Martins.

/ biochar
Biochar is made through a thermal process called pyrolysis: the heating of biomass in a zero-oxygen environment. It results in a negative emissions technology that locks carbon in a stable form permanently.
The production of biochar locks carbon in a permanent stable state, even when applied to a soil ecosystem.
Biochar is non-waste stream dependent, meaning it does not rely on the perpetuation of any particular industry.
Biochar can be returned to the soil while supplying long term benefits and preventing the organic carbon from re-entering the atmosphere.
