From Cypress Waste to a New Natural Material and a Specialized Production System From the Earth to the Earth, CY-PRESS is inspired by the cypress tree as a symbol of stability, continuity, and memory in the local landscape. The research explores the potential of green cypress pruning waste, combining it with other natural ingredients to create a new natural composite material. Alongside the material development, a dedicated production method and specialized tools were designed, transforming an overlooked resource into a series of functional products with strength, durability, and distinctive sensory qualities. At the end of its lifecycle, CY-PRESS is designed to return to nature.
