Transforming our material world.
We create advanced biomaterials to unlock earth-centric design.
In an age where the scars of human impact can be seen from space, we draw inspiration from the earliest forms of life.
Introducing
A new kind of biomaterial formed by the evolutionary activity of microorganisms. Naturally unique, flexible and embedded with a timeless memory.
Our raw, naturally grown skin is our starting point. It provides an entirely bio-based foundation that is both animal and plastic free.
Stronger than animal leather (as tested by SGS) while retaining a natural drape
A storied biophilic texture with a premium feel and natural translucency
CUSTOMIZABLE
From 0.2 mm to leather-like thickness, with naturally diverse color and texture options.
A new material ecosystem, creating materials that originate in nature and safely return to nature at end of life.
CIRCULAR
READY TO SCALE
A 7-day production process, lowering costs and simplifying integration with existing supply chains.
Produced in 13 sq ft sheets, with a set of unique properties, our materials unlock new design possibilities.
DESIGN-FORWARD
A New Aura
for Fashion
A versatile biomaterial for lighter luxury. Feel Transformed
A New Era
for Automotive
A storied surface for long-lasting wear.
Conscious Comfort
A New Ethos
for Design
A range of uses from accessories to aircraft. Infinite Possibility
A Timeless Cycle
In a nutrient-rich environment, microorganisms craft ultra-crystalline patterns
With the introduction of natural agents a 3D super-structure begins to form
From this entirely bio-based foundation we derive LUNAFORM, an advanced biomaterial.
The Gozen Way
As a designer, Ece Gozen was inspired by how nature forms materials, and how new technologies promised to emulate these natural processes. After making a novel discovery in the field of biomimicry, she developed our core technology. GOZEN was born.
At Gozen, we are storytellers and stargazers, dreamers and do-ers, makers and mystics. We are united by a passion for discovering the hidden patterns between nature, society and technology. Our mission is to reshape how we interact with the world around us, advocating for natural connection, and a balance between creative expression and the sanctity of our planet.
We create materials to change minds, pushing the boundaries of what's possible and serving as statements of change throughout culture.
