Adital Ela of S-Sense design values the potential of earth, clay and natural fiber as the ideal dust-to-dust construction materials. She shares via her website: "Many uses of mud are known throughout history, but I keep going back to the first time I saw the traditional Indian chai clay cup. It is made from clay dried in the sun and after it is used, it is thrown to the ground—blending back within minutes to become earth again. I started asking myself whether products can, like people, come from dust and to dust return?" Photo 12 of 12 in Materials and Innovation at BIO 23 Ljubljana
