Mould – meaning both a cast and a fungus – is a research into how a product can be brought to life. Thomas Pleeging mixed some mycelium (the underground part) from edible shelf fungi and oyster mushrooms with cotton fibre, and put them inside a mould. After a few weeks they had formed a sturdy web that would keep its shape. The design, a vase in this case, could be harvested. ‘A bunch of flowers will bring life into your home, but in this case, the vase, too, will be a living thing.’
