Asif Khan sifts through the options offered by Biomason’s biocement tiles to create the ‘Coral Reef’ shelving unitand American cement industry innovator Biomason joined forces to collaborate on a Wallpaper* Re-Made project for 2020, their explorations led them to ‘Coral Reef’, a shelving unit built from ingots of biocement.
