Abstract
This paper presents an interdisciplinary research project where new material is developed in a collaboration between design and materials science. The objective of the Shimmering Wood project is to develop a nanocellulose-based structural color and investigate its possibilities in the context of design. We present two interconnected design cases that focus on the visual possibilities of the coffee ring effect, a feature of nanocellulose-based structural color. The text shows how new knowledge is built through design "thinging" – through constructed prototypes, material tinkering, and laboratory experiments.
