CAMPBELL REY (http://campbell-rey.com/) When creating products from natural materials, we are taking from resources that are finite and whose extraction and use have an impact on the planet. This comes with a level of responsibility as a designer. In fifty years time, we envisage the ability to 3D print what are now rare, desirable and beautiful natural materials like marble, minerals and rosewood. This technology would be readily available, following the already nascent movement of large corporations like Tesla making their intellectual property public, to allow others to develop them for the benefit of mankind as a whole. This would allow for a democratisation of materiality, as well as the creation of neo-natural materials without any detriment the environment. Something like this would present a new set of boundaries for designers, and would change the way we think about our surroundings. And while we're at it, these neo-natural materials could be bio-renewable or degradable on demand. Now, wouldn't that be something?
