About Mosu

Founder-led practice between Chicago and Istanbul. Objects designed around the story of their material.

Raw algae biomass salvaged from water treatment — the material every Mosu object starts as

Why Mosu

Materials have histories worth designing around. Ours is algae biomass from water treatment — compounded into Algae PLA, printed, then finished by hand. Founded in 2023 between Chicago and Istanbul. Small batches. No mold. Quiet on purpose, so the material can do the talking.
