Pratt Institute’s School of Design has announced the recipients of its second annual Material Lab Prize. The winner received a $1,000 grant for a project that showcases innovative uses of reclaimed waste. The top prize was awarded to Charlotte Böhning and Mary Lempres (MID ’23) for their project, “Strøm,” a series that explores carbon and membrane filtration in products made from repurposed agricultural waste.

The project includes purification stick inserts, a filter cartridge, and a carafe, which all incorporate antimicrobial honeybee propolis, natural resins, and magnetized biochar from bone waste. As stated in Pratt’s announcement: “The project earned recognition from the jury, not only for its iterative research process but also the evident joy its designers took in their approach.”

“What I liked about [Charlotte and Mary’s entry] is that they are clearly thrilled to be designing. You can feel that they are iterating and enjoying their process,” said juror Elise McMahon, designer and founder of LikeMindedObjects.
