Moisés Hernández colours hot pink Grana chairs using crushed-up insects

Mexican designer Moisés Hernández replaced toxic synthetic paints with a pre-hispanic dye made from insects to create his vibrant Grana chairs. The simple maple wood seats get their colour from being immersed in a mixture of hot water and a pigment made from dried and pulverised cochineal bugs, a technique that was used to dye fabrics in Mexico for thousands of years. Hernández created an all-pink and a multicoloured Grana chair Hernández adapted the technique for use in furniture, experimenting with different water temperatures and using acidic or alkaline additives to create six different colours, ranging from bright red and orange to purple and pink.
