Trevor Carreon
For his thesis project at the University of Illinois at Chicago, Trevor Carreon created an end table and planter using his own take on Hempcrete, a carbon-neutral alternative to concrete made from pulverized hemp stalks mixed with sodium bentonite and hydrated lime. “The project focused on developing the material’s strength while using natural ingredients that wouldn’t be toxic if buried in the soil,” Carreon explains. Formally speaking, the works reference Brutalism to communicate that focus on strength, as well as their relationship to concrete.
