The young Puerto Rican designer Ana Cristina Quiñones recently created Materia Madura collection, inspired by the traditions of Puerto Rico.

波多黎各年轻设计师安娜·克里斯蒂娜·奎尼奥斯最近在波多黎各传统的启发下，创作了马蒂利亚·马杜拉系列。

The designer’s presentation: The first manifestation of an innovatory material developed from plantain and coffee waste, Materia Madura is a furniture collection inspired by the indigenous Taíno culture of Puerto Rico and their prehistoric artefacts.

设计师的介绍：从车前草和咖啡废料发展而来的一种创新材料的第一种表现形式是马杜拉家具收藏，灵感来自波多黎各土著塔伊诺文化及其史前文物。

马杜拉以细腻和令人回味的内饰为目标，它被证明是耐用的和功能性的，但它是可持续的，可生物降解的，而且比其他具有相似美学品质的材料更轻巧。马杜拉试图认识到熟悉，简单，并认为可能的未来可能不是所有的数字和技术，而是一个简单复杂的功能。

Plantain and coffee, cultural staple foods of Puerto Rico, are produced and consumed in abundance, therefore their organic waste is also abundant. Taking advantage of this local waste and transforming it through a design approach, this project aims to highlight how many everyday objects are designed with toxic, unsustainable materials, when they can be produced with locally sourced, non-toxic, sustainable, and potentially biodegradable materials.

波多黎各的文化主食-车前草和咖啡-大量生产和消费，因此它们的有机废物也很丰富。利用这些本地废物并通过设计方法将其转化，这个项目旨在强调有多少日常用品是用有毒、不可持续的材料设计的，当它们可以用当地来源的、无毒的、可持续的和潜在的生物降解材料生产时。
