Multicoloured furniture by We+ shows "expressive potential" of microalgae pigments

Japanese design studio We+ has developed a collection of furniture clad in colourful tiles made by combining powdered microalgae with natural resin. The SO-Colored project focuses on microalgae as a sustainable source of vivid natural pigments ranging from reds, yellows and blues, to the many green hues most commonly associated with algae. We+ founders Toshiya Hayashi and Hokuto Ando collaborated with Algal Bio to explore potential uses for these pigments, derived from microalgae that are grown in the research company's factories.

Typically found in water, they are rich in nutrients and can produce compounds with diverse uses.
