Orange Fiber transforms pastazzo - a byproduct of Italy’s citrus industry - into innovative yarns and fabrics. Using a patented process developed in Sicily, discarded orange pulp is converted into cellulose-based fibres for fashion and interior applications.
Orange Fiber combines sustainability, performance, and refined material quality as a powerful example of how agricultural waste can be reimagined into high-value design materials. - proving that circularity can begin at the source.

Last month, NOVA HOLDING GROUP brought together facility managers, contractors, and industry voices for an honest, no-nonsense discussion on one of the region’s most persistent building challenges: rising damp, groundwater, and long-term moisture decay.
Thank you to, our panelists, moderator, partners, and everyone who showed up ready to question outdated fixes and engage openly.
The Anti-Damp Device stood out as a practical, non-invasive, plug-and-play alternative that challenged conventional thinking and sparked real debate.
These are the conversations that matter - where accountability replaces patchwork solutions, and long-term performance takes centre stage.

LUCEM LUCCon combines translucent concrete with integrated lighting to create architectural surfaces that glow from within. Ultra-fine glass fibres embedded in concrete transmit daylight or artificial light, revealing depth, texture, and shadow.
Each panel is handcrafted, making every piece subtly unique. Designed for expressive architecture and smart interiors, LUCEM LUCCon transforms a traditionally heavy material into something light, responsive, and atmospheric.
Explore how light can reshape concrete with LUCEM LUCCON at Colab’s Materials Library.

Grounded, tactile textiles in clay, sand and soil tones form the base, expressing earth and stability. Cooler greens and softer textures reference water and its role in moderating climate, while lighter, breathable weaves suggest air, openness and movement.
The palette is unified by warm off-whites that capture light - filtered, diffused and ever-present. The composition would reflect an architectural approach that is calm, climatic and deeply connected to place - where materiality transitions naturally from weight to lightness, from ground to sky.

Developed by Maestro, this AI-driven timber system preserves the natural geometry of each tree, reducing waste while opening up a new architectural language. Instead of forcing organic forms into standard boards, A.I. Timber scans, maps, and assembles wood like a puzzle - letting material intelligence lead.
On display in Shanghai, the prototype shows how digital tools can amplify nature rather than erase it. Less waste. More expression. Sustainability, performance, and beauty built into one system.
AI Timber by Maestro is a compelling example of how technology can work with nature, not against it.
