Limited Edition
Limited Edition presented two rugs of particular interest. Brick is made from vertically positioned strips of reclaimed leather; a waste material from other design processes. It is a tactile underfoot experience not to be missed.
Limited Edition
Their second rug, Gypsy, reuses waste of a different sort. After jacquard rugs fell out of favor, < found themselves with excess stock. They decided to cut the rugs up, combine them with leather and create contemporary patchwork rugs dyed in bold colors. Ingenious.
Teixidors
Teixidors is a cooperative using manual weaving to help integrate people with learning difficulties into social and work situations. They make merino wool throws, blankets and other accessories. They source all their wool from a single sheep farm, so the entire process is completely traceable from sheep to weave. They use no synthetic dyes – using the natural colour of the wool with accents created using natural dye, everything is hand woven so almost no energy is used in the making process and wool’s natural characteristics make them fireproof, renewable and natural.
Richard Hutton
Richard Hutton’s product for Ngispen is brilliant in its simplicity – it is laser cut from a single sheet creating absolutely no waste.
