A collaboration with Mobella Galleria and local makers repurposed discarded textiles through shredding, molding, and compression to create durable home objects. Local workshops collected fabric waste and experimented with 3D-printed molds and fine shredding to form new materials. The technique involves packing processed fibers into molds, applying compression, and demolding to reveal solid, reimagined design pieces. Notable outcomes include Chubby, a sculptural compressed-fiber piece, and Skates, a wheeled tray that adds interactivity to serving and organization. The approach demonstrates that textile waste can be transformed into modular, functional, and playful decor while emphasizing sustainability and style.
The textile industry produces staggering amounts of fabric waste every year, much of which ends up in landfills. But what if these discarded textiles could be given a second chance? In an innovative collaboration with Mobella Galleria, a creative team set out to prove that fabric scraps can be transformed into beautiful, functional pieces for everyday life. By using techniques like shredding, molding, and compression, they have developed playful home decor objects that showcase both sustainability and style.
The process involves packing the processed textile waste evenly into molds, then applying compression to lock the material into a solid shape. After carefully removing each piece from its mold, the result is a completely reimagined design objectproof that what was once waste can become valuable again. One standout creation is Chubby, a playful yet practical sculptural piece crafted from compressed fabric fibers. Chubby is more than just an art object; it's a conversation starter that blends fun, functionality, and sustainability.
