Modern Synthesis is creating the next generation of biomaterials. Their microbial-weaving technology uses living microbes to grow the biomaterials directly onto a scaffold. Not only does this allow them to create high-tensile, plastic free biomaterials, it enables greater aesthetic flexibility for their customers. They’re not just a leather replacement, they’re designing and creating entirely new materials capable of novel aesthetics.
