Wevolve Labs created a series of luminescent sculptures crafted from biomaterials. The multidisciplinary collective company used bioplastic skins from local plants to structure its group of lantern-like sculptures. The installation is on view in Austin, Texas, and is dubbed the Bionest.

The Bionest project comprised five free-standing sculptures inspired by the shapes of local plants and birds. Each sculpture ranges in size from two to seven meters tall and feature asymmetrically shaped exteriors. The exterior biomaterial skins are created from carrageenan, which is a seaweed extract. They are positioned on wooden stands, giving the sculptures their elongated appearances. According to Wevolve Labs, the material offers a apetroleum-free alternative to traditional plastic, making for an eco-friendly design.
