Can a wallet be grown from fruit waste?

Frutta Pocket is a wallet grown from fruit-based bioplastic and shaped through cutting, folding and simple making actions. Using dried fruit or peels, combined with pectin, glycerine, and water, the material is slowly cooked and dried into a thin, flexible film. The resulting sheet carries traces of its origin, allowing fruit to shift from something eaten to something held, folded, and carried.

The wallet is structured around an intuitive folding logic while remaining open to cutting, perforating, and optional stitching. This flexible approach allows flat storage, quick assembly, and variations in form and pattern. By working with fruit-derived ingredients at a small, domestic scale, the project explores creative assembly, alternative material practices, and the transformation of food by-products into lightweight objects for everyday carry.
