NirMeiri Studio

Founded in 2010 by designer Nir Meiri, Nir Meiri Design Studio offers an out of the ordinary approach to everyday objects.
Carefully selected materials are shaped into clean-cut forms, creating innovative products that play on the tension between the domesticated and the untamed.

Amazing to see how Nir Meiri has achieved to create beautiful lights of Mycelium and Metal and in the shape of our beloved mushroom as well!

This project is a result of an ongoing material research in mycelium -the vegetative part of the fungus -resulting in the design of table lamps collection. Mushrooms or fungi are truly wondrous organisms with significant untapped potential. Mycelium consumes organic and synthetic waste to grow into desired shapes and different types of waste alter its properties. This could have highly significant implications for ridding our planet from the mountains and islands of synthetic waste.

When lit, the light project on the mycelium from below and glows back as soft natural light.

Size: Height 30 / 35 / 40 cm, Diameter 30 cm

The inspiration for this design comes from the fungi itself, resulting in 'a little garden of lights' imitating the shapes of mushrooms growing in the wild.

Mycelium Lights Nir Meiri Studio 2018 Custom

This project is a collaboration between Nir Meiri Studio and BIOHM- a London based startup working on developing sustainable solutions for the built environment.
The mycelium lights collection has been launched during London Design festival 2018 in 2 different locations:
The first was an exhibition at 'Sustainable Bankside' as part of a show gathering selected sustainable companies to showcase cutting edge designs and ideas. The second exhibition was at 'Open Cell' as part of a curated showcalled 'BIODESIGN -HERE NOW'.

In 2001 I started first independent Phase 2 compost production in Russia. In 2012 my facility became the first to produce Phase 3 compost in Russia and CIS. Now this facility successfully produces about 20 000 tons of Phase 3 compost annually.

During years in the mushroom business I’ve built compost and mushroom enterprises and organized production in them.

The best western experts taught me and my chief compost technologist. This knowledge helped me to organized a consulting company engaged in planning, design, construction, technical equipment of compost and mushroom enterprises and the organization of production. I came to the mushroom business from the trading business and it allows me to look at projects both in terms of technology and in terms of economic efficiency.

Now I’ve been working with three new Russian projects with a total annual capacity of 100,000 tons of Phase 3 compost and 30,000 tons of mushrooms. In March 2019, production will begin at the first of these enterprises.

I will be happy to share news about the rapidly growing Russian mushroom industry with Mushroommatter.com readers/subscribers. Hope my experience will be useful in other countries.
