LEPABE Senior Researcher participated in Milan International Furniture Fair
Posted on April 14th, 2019
A team of LEPABE members, led by Senior Researcher Luísa Carvalho, presented innovative lignocellulosic composites at this year’s edition of Milan International Furniture Fair (Salone Internazionale del Mobile Milano). The products, developed in the context of project Lightwood in collaboration with a team of designers, are based on a recently patented technology. They combine thistle wood particles with polyurethane foam to obtain a light-weight but mechanically resistant material, which caught the attention of several representatives from the European furniture industry.
