About Our Material

Our shells are made from a biomaterial derived from corn starch, thats RIGHT its not 100% plastic.

It is made from a renewable resource that’s non-toxic, biodegradable, and gentle on the environment. It embodies the balance between innovation and sustainability, allowing us to create pieces that are both durable and naturally responsible.

This material offers strength, flexibility, and a smooth, glass-like finish. It holds its shape without warping or curling, ensuring every form is clean, consistent, and true to design intent.

  • Sustainable by nature: Sourced from renewable corn starch and fully degradable over time

  • Strong yet adaptable: Resilient under pressure, maintaining structure while offering subtle flexibility

  • Refined finish: Produces smooth surfaces, clear detail, and a natural gloss

  • Safe and non-toxic: Low odor, eco-friendly, and made for mindful making
