 A fascinating design project! Here's a summary:

Hungarian design firm Fefostudio and architect Kamilla Csegzi have created an intriguing table called "The Ephemeral Table" for the Collectible design fair in New York. The table is made from mycelium, which is a mixture of 50% mycelium substrate with other organic waste like paper and plant fibers.

What's unique about this project is that it features custom openings for glassware, allowing users to place their favorite cups or vessels into the mycelium structure. This adds an interesting interactive element to the design.

The use of mycelium as a sustainable building material is also noteworthy. Mycelium has been gaining attention in recent years due to its potential to replace traditional materials like wood and plastic.

Overall, The Ephemeral Table seems like an innovative and thought-provoking design piece that explores the boundaries between art, architecture, and sustainability.

Have you come across any other interesting projects that use mycelium as a building material?
