Biobased Materials

The base was made of three kinds of wood, namely beech, and birch used in building industry.
The logo circles are created from biofabricated panels made of moss mix (green), cornflower (blue), and rose flowers (red) on flax fleece provided by the Tyrolian company Organoid. The yellow circle is made of a special bread cell foam provided by the TU Graz spin-off FOAMO.
