Circularity comes natural, to nature.

Circularity comes natural, to nature.

Life on Earth has evolved over billions of years, recycling every bit of it over and over again.
What we consider timeless or enduring, in terms of Earth time passes in less than a millisecond.
This affects how we view the lasting power of the objects we create. Even if they last hundreds of years, they will eventually be discarded.
It is humbling therefore to realize that man-made objects are merely a temporary transformation of energy & matter.
We also recognise that nature's recycling is far more efficient than we could ever synthesise. And we have to remember that the materials we use aren't ours, they're borrowed. Borrowed from nature.
All we have to do is give back to nature what we borrowed, and allow it the time it needs to renew itself.
That is why we focus on renewable materials with a seasonal cycle, growing much faster than the time we take to use them.
In doing so, we are helping to restore the balance between making, using and disposing, so that our planet, which is home to us all, can recover and thrive.
Our Solutions

Our core material:

Mycelium Based Composite

It was mycelium;

the branching mycelial networks of fungi that first held the soil together and allowed plants to take root. In nature, the mycelium eventually grows into a fungus, the fruit of mycelium. The fruit of our work however is not a fungus. We harness the power of mycelium to transform organic fibres into furniture.

Hemp harmony

For our mycelium composite material we utilize a byproduct of the hemp industry, making use of materials that would otherwise go to waste. Hemp is a fast-growing, resilient plant renowned for its strong fibers. It's fully grown in 4 months time, by which it has absorbed 4x the equivalent Co2 of a tree.

Fungi Fusion

The mycelium hemp composite blends the best of both worlds by combining mycelium’s natural binding abilities with hemp’s structural strength. This fusion of low energy, fast growing materials results in a strong & pleasant material, with the perfect properties to create high-end design.

About us

With decades of experience in high-end design, we realised that to make the pivot towards truly sustainable living, a radical change is needed. Aifunghi is the first step of a movement towards a future defined by environmentally responsible design. By blending natural materials with high-end aesthetics, we aim to inspire a subtle yet disruptive shift towards sustainable luxury. An innovative approach that redefines what it means to live and create sustainably.
