Climate change is putting increased pressure on the food industry to fnd more efcient and sustainable food sources as farmland becomes more scarce. Chlorella Pyrenoidosa is an algae that can be grown with signifcantly fewer resources and its high protein content makes it an excellent contender in the shift to more sustainable food sources. In its current powder form, however, Chlorella is unappealing to consumers. We applied a material driven design approach to fnd a new food application for Chlorella powder.Â
We present Futurella, a 3D printed protein bar of the future which derives the majority of its protein from Chlorella. Futurella will be produced by 3D printing farms that support local, sustainable food production demands. Consumers can personalise the bar according to their dietary, nutritional and textural preferences. Through its strong design language of the deep green paste and futuristic printed shape, Futurella signals to consumers a more appetising application of Chlorella.
