Exploring the practices of others and appreciating cross-disciplinary activity—activities outside of the creative arenas associated with the arts—introduces alternative directions to creative thinking.

Jannis Huelsen recognized the properties of microbes to create cellulose, submerging a wooden stool, a form of biological scaffold, in a concentrated broth to allow Acetobacter xylinum microbes to cover the stool with a shroud of extracellular material.

The viscous substance covering the predetermined scaffold is dried in a similar fashion to the garments made by Suzanne Lee, but unlike the garments, the drying process adheres the microbial matter to the frame.

The use of biological practices within design is burgeoning and opportunities for cross-disciplinary dialog should be encouraged as both parties have information to share.

The curious, dried coverings of the Jannis Huelsen stools are unusual, but perhaps only because they are unfamiliar. Unknown territory is where a creative mind should aim to be active.

The IDEO design studio in California has also explored the potential of microbes and a form of natural, additive fabrication with the work of scientists, where stimulated Escherichia coli (E. coli) creates a solid form of cellulose for the generation of simple products.
