We had the joy of being part of F.BAD II project, which researched artic plants and their compounds in different product applications. Our plant-based textile filling from cattail plants was used in a mosquito-repelling outdoor chair with antimicrobial marsh labrador tea (Rhododendron tomentosum) dispersion liquid. See a peak in the linked video from the projects' closing exhibition FUNKTIO3!
