emo objects presents an innovative approach to interior design by utilizing sustainable materials like mycelium, the vegetative root system of fungi. The collection, including lamps and other objects, demonstrates how biodegradable and eco-friendly materials can be transformed into functional works of art. 
Notably, the lamps are not conventionally manufactured but grown, highlighting the close connection between nature and design. Each piece is therefore unique, exhibiting natural imperfections while providing stylish, sustainable lighting.

Our company is an innovative design studio based in Basel, founded by a diverse trio who each bring different expertise to the table. Rooted in Basel, we blend our unique backgrounds to create a harmonious fusion of art, nature, and architecture. Our commitment to integrating ecological principles into the design process drives us to manufacture everything locally. This collaboration allows us to connect creativity with sustainability, reflecting our dedication to both aesthetic and environmental responsibility.

Our journey began in the spring of 2022 at the architect office fm unlimited, under the guidance of Fabienne Maritz. Over the past year, we have delved into various techniques for cultivating and shaping fungi, resulting in a range of prototypes. This period of research and development provided valuable insights into the possibilities and challenges of this unique material. We experimented with numerous methods and selected the most promising designs, which are now ready for further development and expansion.

The future of design lies in merging cutting-edge innovation with ecological sustainability. We strive to create functional and visually captivating solutions that remain environmentally responsible. By utilizing mycelium and other natural materials, we aim to redefine design, blending elegance with eco-friendly principles. Our work reflects a commitment to integrating aesthetic appeal with environmental stewardship, setting a new standard for sustainable design.
