A Celebration of Innovation and HeritageRooted in the profound legacy of Danish design, the launch of Reishi™ in the Nordic Light is a bold testament to a heritage where functionality meets beauty, simplicity is celebrated, and every detail is imbued to honor nature and craftsmanship. Danish design has long been synonymous with a refined aesthetic that transcends fleeting trends, emphasizing a harmonious balance between form and function. This enduring tradition—characterized by minimalist elegance, sustainable practices, and a passion for tactile experiences—has served as the cornerstone for this groundbreaking project. Here, the visionary spirit of Denmark converges with cutting edge material technology to reformulate how we experience the interiors of our built environments.At the heart of this project is the belief that the best design is an ongoing dialogue between the past and the future, one that embraces tradition while fearlessly exploring new possibilities. Reishi™ in the Nordic Light embodies this approach by melding Danish design principles with the revolutionary capabilities of Reishi™, a new material option fully grown from mycelium– the intricate, abundant and renewable roots of reishi mushrooms. Every element of the collection—from the interplay of light and shadow to the delicate textures of the biomaterial—celebrates the Danish commitment to quality, sustainable innovation, and the enduring beauty of simplicity

As one of the natural, non-animal materials available at industrial scale, Reishi™ offers a unique blend of performance, durability, and aesthetics, redefining what is possible in sustainable design.Reishi™: A Game-Changer for the Future of DesignFor years, biomaterials have remained on the fringes of design—too delicate, too niche, or too limited for industrial application. Reishi™ changes this narrative. Thanks to MycoWorks' patented Fine Mycelium™ technology, Reishi™ is the first biomaterial to deliver both exceptional aesthetics and technical performance at scale.Chosen by Ligne Roset for the Kobold sofa, Reishi™ meets the rigorous requirements of contemporary furniture production while offering a new sensory and visual experience:Unparalleled Performance : Resistant to daily wear, Reishi™ combines strength, supple elasticity, and durability—qualities essential for interior applications.: Resistant to daily wear, Reishi™ combines strength, supple elasticity, and durability—qualities essential for interior applications. A Living Material: Like the finest natural materials, Reishi™ develops a patina over time, enhancing its beauty while preserving its structural integrity.Like the finest natural materials, Reishi™ develops a patina over time, enhancing its beauty while preserving its structural integrity. A Unique Aesthetic : Each sheet of Reishi™ carries its own distinctive veining and organic patterns, creating designs that are one-of-a-kind—echoing the natural beauty of marble or leather.: Each sheet of Reishi™ carries its own distinctive veining and organic patterns, creating designs that are one-of-a-kind—echoing the natural beauty of marble or leather. Industrial Scalability: Unlike other biomaterials, Reishi™ is available at scale, offering a reliable, sustainable alternative to traditional materials for major design brands."At MycoWorks, we believe that art inspires science, and that mycelium can redefine the future of design," says Sophia Wang, co-founder of MycoWorks

Spanish biomaterials company MycoWorks has launched its Reishi material, using Rei-Tanning technology.
