Material Test, Phase II - Pattern Application

Shown here are hot pressed sheets from coconut fiber obtained at the plantation in Samut Songkran. First we tested 6mm and 10mm thickness using 100% coir fiber and a coir/shell mix with no pattern application.






Pattern application tests shows embedded natural materials (shell chips, shell slices, coco palm fiber), as well as an embossed pattern application using a 2mm laser cut aluminum stencil.
