TOGIGI

TOGIGI is an experimental studio where research and material experimentation form the basis for creating innovative objects. With the city's support, TOGIGI aims to launch a new concept that converts residual flows from agricultural waste, such as cow manure, through a reaction with microalgae into a biomass that serves as the basis for a biopolymer suitable for 3D printing. This process uses only natural organisms, enabling the production of 100% biodegradable furniture and objects. TOGIGI will collaborate with local farmers and bioengineers to develop this sustainable, circular material.

Thomas Van Noten draws inspiration from nature. This new research into materials using microalgae fits perfectly with his ongoing search for innovative manufacturing processes.
