Textiles Reimagined
A material innovation that transforms discarded textiles into recoverable composites for product applications
Textiles Reimagined was born out of a simple yet urgent question, what if textile waste wasn’t the end, but a beginning? Rooted in the belief that design can drive environmental responsibility, we transforms post-consumer textile waste into material composites using recyclable resin technology for different homeware applications, in collaboration with Cloop from Singapore (Textile recyclers), Recyclamine from Thailand (Aditya Birla Chemicals - Recyclable resin), designer and handcrafters from India. We design for the times, using the unused and creating for material recoverability. Our products are designed to re-enter the materials used in the production cycle, keeping non-degradable textiles in circulation and out of landfills. Each homeware you bring into your home is not just functional and aesthetic, it becomes a conversational design statement with purpose.
