Mycelium textile used in innovative furniture design

At Design Miami’s 20th edition, Paris-based architects and designers Berenice Curt and Caroline Duncan introduced the first chapter of Scenarii Édition, a new curatorial line with Berenice Curt Architecture. The debut included the Tripodal chair, made in part with mycelium-grown textiles.

Scenarii Édition positions collectible design as a site for rethinking material life cycles. The studio’s method is grounded in the belief that leftover, irregular, undervalued materials carry narrative weight. Throughout the debut collection, stainless steel becomes a stabilizing armature that welcomes evolving surface treatments, wood, stone, biomaterials, each chosen for its imperfections rather than despite them.  

Proponents of mycelium leather promote it as a sustainable alternative to animal leather or synthetic substitutes for leather. As it’s grown from fungi or agricultural waste, it is a biodegradable, carbon-negative product.
