Since color plays a significant role in creating product aesthetics, the majority of biomaterials being brown or requiring artificial colorants negatively affect consumer perception.

 

Through various tests, Colour Matter provides an additional way to utilise leftover fruit peels in Thailand and add value to agricultural waste by transforming it into a new material of colour similar to each fruit’s original colour. The material is then developed into home decor products with respect to its unique qualities.

 

The products obtained include a set of vases, a set of accessory trays, and a set of stool covers. Each set of products resulted from different types of forming processes.
