"Bridging nature and technology will lead to new innovative solutions."
Product designer Lilian van Daal bridges with her work the natural and the artificial - or designed - world. She experiments with innovative technologies and materials in order to meticulously mimic nature. With the resulting objects she aspires to reveal nature’s rich library of solutions. The emphasis is on the imitation and adjustment of structures to optimize production methods in a sustainable way.
To achieve this, she collaborates with scientists, biologists, universities, architects and commercial companies.
