Riina O Innovation
Traceless biomaterial solutions.
Riina O Innovation delves into regenerative materials R&D forging a fully organic and biodegradable circular material cycle whilst embracing innovation, craftsmanship, and environmental consciousness.
SCOBY-compo leather-like material serves as a response to plastic-based "vegan leather," providing a fully organic and home-compostable option for the fashion and design industry. Working with local kombucha drink producers, SCOBY is derived from their bacterial cellulose by-product.
In addition to material development, the brand emphasises educating individuals about biomaterials and raising awareness through engaging hands-on workshops, which can be incorporated into exhibitions or offered independently to promote understanding through active participation.
Riina O Innovation also explores different craftsmanship techniques for working with new biomaterials to maximise the unique qualities of each material. The goal is to bring the materials out of the experimentation stage and into practical use across various industries.
