Grown through fermentation,
Developed for design.

Ferma develops bacterial cellulose materials for the design
industry, bringing together fermentation production,
material research and design.

A living material,
made to be made with.

Fermatex sheets are grown, dried and finished in our studio
for designers, brands and researchers.

What is Bacteria Cellulose?

Bacterial cellulose is a natural fibre, the same type found in paper, but grown by bacteria rather than sourced from wood. During fermentation, it forms a layer on the surface of the liquid.

About Ferma

Fermatex

Fermatex is Ferma's range of bacterial cellulose materials. Working with scientists and manufacturing partners, we improve material performance and develop consistent, scalable production.

Together with designers and brands, we explore how Fermatex can meet the needs of real projects, taking biomaterials further into commercial use.
