CO₂alescence
CO₂ Material microsecado
CO₂alescence es una línea de menaje del hogar de piezas duraderas, similares a la piedra, hechas para el uso diario. El material microsecuestra el CO₂ mediante carbonatación mineral y microalgas, aglutinadas con resina de pino y curadas al aire libre sin cocción en horno. Este proceso de bajo consumo energético reduce las emisiones, y los productos pueden repararse o moldearse de nuevo al final de su larga vida útil, fomentando un sistema circular. Cada pieza indica los gramos de CO₂ utilizados en su fabricación.

Yuki Abe
I am a multidisciplinary concept and product designer with eight years at a leading Japanese branding agency, now pursuing the MA/MSc Innovation Design Engineering programme at Imperial College London and the Royal College of Art. I translate societal challenges into clear user value by prototyping material-led systems. I combine research rigour, engineering practice and brand strategy to deliver scalable, circular products.
