CortexCUSH STOOL
CortexCush stoll is a striking embodiment of sustainable design and artistic innovation. This unique stool is not just a piece of furniture but a statement of environmental responsibility and creative excellence.
Crafted from an eco-friendly composite material derived from abandoned fishing nets, this stool represents a triumph in sustainable design practices. These fishing nets, once a threat to marine life, are given a new lease on life, transformed into a durable and environmentally conscious material. This innovative use of recycled ocean plastics aligns with Lenochka's commitment to reducing waste and preserving our planet's precious marine ecosystems.
The stool's design takes inspiration from the intricate structure of brain coral, a nod to the beauty and complexity of the underwater world. The stool mimics the organic, labyrinthine patterns of brain coral, creating a visually captivating and tactile experience. This biomimetic approach not only pays homage to the natural world but also demonstrates how nature's designs can be seamlessly integrated into functional art.
The Lenochka CortexCush Stool is more than just a stool—it's a testament to the harmony that can be achieved between artistic expression, functionality, and environmental responsibility.

The WeWave Bookshelf, a testament to sustainable craftsmanship and biologically inspired design. This bookshelf is not merely a storage solution but a piece of art, harmoniously blending functionality with the elegance of nature-inspired aesthetics.The bookshelf is constructed from eco-friendly bamboo, a material renowned for its strength, durability, and sustainability. Bamboo is a fast-growing, renewable resource, making it an excellent choice for environmentally conscious design. Its natural texture and warm hues bring an organic, earthy feel to any space, while its sustainability credentials ensure a minimal environmental impact.
Drawing inspiration from the patterns of ocean waves and the intricate structures found in waffle-like biological forms, the bookshelf's design is a tribute to the elegance and efficiency of nature's creations. The waffle-wave shape is not only visually striking but also structurally sound, embodying the principles of biomimicry in design. This approach results in a piece that is both aesthetically pleasing and functionally robust.
The unique waffle-wave structure provides an innovative way to store books and display items. The varying sizes of the compartments cater to different book dimensions and decorative objects, making the bookshelf versatile and adaptable to various needs. Its design also allows for easy access and visibility of items, enhancing the functionality of the piece.
The Eco Bamboo Waffle Wave Bookshelf is a focal point in any room, offering a blend of modern design and natural beauty. Its unique form and the warm, inviting nature of bamboo make it an ideal addition to both contemporary and traditional spaces.

PlastiDoric
COLUMN
The Community-Sourced PlasriDoric Column, a remarkable architectural feature that stands as a symbol of both community collaboration and environmental sustainability. This unique column is crafted from HDPE plastic bottles, generously donated by the Miami community, and is brought to life through advanced 3D printing technology using a KUKA robotic arm.
This column symbolizing a collective effort towards recycling and environmental stewardship. This community-driven approach not only helps in mitigating plastic waste but also fosters a sense of unity and shared responsibility towards our planet.
The column is crafted using a KUKA robotic arm, showcasing an innovative fusion of technology and sustainable design. The use of 3D printing not only ensures precision and quality but also opens up new possibilities in architectural design, allowing for complex, intricate structures that would be challenging to create through traditional methods.
Adding to its environmental credentials, the column is dyed with natural dyes. These dyes are derived from organic sources such as plants, minerals, and other natural materials, ensuring that the coloring process is eco-friendly and free from harmful chemicals. This natural dyeing technique not only reduces the environmental impact but also gives the column a unique, organic color palette that further enhances its aesthetic appeal.

ChiroMATRIX wall tiles are crafted from recycled HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) bottles, which are an easily recyclable 3-4 times.
these tiles turn everyday waste into valuable design elements. HDPE, known for its strength and durability, is given a new life, reducing the environmental impact of plastic waste. This recycling process underlines a commitment to eco-friendly design solutions, aligning with the growing need for sustainable practices in interior design.
The shape of each tile is inspired by the overlapping spines of biological creatures, a nod to the complexity and elegance found in nature. This design mimics the varied directions and scales of these spines, creating a dynamic and textured surface that plays with light and shadow. The result is a wall feature that is both visually intriguing and rich in natural motifs.
Aesthetic and Versatility: The overlapping spine design of the tiles offers a unique aesthetic that can transform any space into a visually striking environment.
Beyond their aesthetic appeal, these tiles also offer functional benefits. HDPE is a durable material, making these tiles suitable for high-traffic areas. They are also easy to clean and maintain, ensuring they remain an enduring feature in any space.

Sometimes serendipity plays a role in the origin of the material to be transformed. For Concrete Marvel, 10,000 bobblehead dolls of a baseball player who was traded to another team, became obsolete. Instead of discarding these dolls as trash, they were creatively repurposed, replacing the sand - an increasingly scarce natural resource - ordinarily required to mix concrete.The design of the molds made on a CNC machine, were conceived as repeat patterns for exterior architecture surfaces. Their graduated steps mimc generative growth processes found in nature.Even the blue insulation foam material for the molds was salvaged from demolition waste. These distinctive surfaces reflect the value added to conventional construction materials by an articulated design sensibility, and the importance of recycling and reusing materials, especially in an industry as resource-intensive as construction.
