Sea Glass
一种由微藻制成的碳捕捉玻璃。
海玻璃由一种微藻制成，这种微藻从周围的水中提取二氧化硅，沉淀到二氧化硅细胞壁中。玻璃的主要成分二氧化硅通常来自沙子。通过种植硅石而不是提取硅石，我们可以减少对破坏环境的采砂业的依赖，并通过藻类的光合作用捕获大量的 CO₂。经过大量的科学和材料研究，海玻璃诞生了。它由 90% 的微藻提取的二氧化硅制成，既保留了传统玻璃的特性，又降低了熔化所需的能量。

Paolina Kühr
Paolina Kühr is a Paris-born material designer and researcher exploring the symbiotic potential between natural ecosystems and human innovation. After studying biology at Freie Universität Berlin and University of Milan, an internship in bacterial-cellulose leather sparked her interest in bio-based materials. She later pursued a Master’s in Design through New Materials at Elisava in Barcelona, founding Orsa Studio to reimagine materiality with nature. Her research focuses on microalgae-derived glass, aiming to create carbon-negative materials that support ecological resilience.
