Really: Designing Materials for Circularity
Salone del Mobile Milan, 2017 & 2018

Continuing our work with Danish textile leader Kvadrat, we were engaged to launch Really, a new initiative in partnership with Kvadrat to upcycle end-of-life textiles into new materials for design and architecture. Jane Withers Studio with Njusa de Gier co-curated two exhibitions at the Salone del Mobile Milan that showed designer commissions using Really’s Solid Textile Board and Acoustic Textile Felt. The projects demonstrated the potential of the new materials and sparked debate around the changing narratives of textile resources and waste.

Participating designers included: Christien Meindertsma; Max Lamb; Benjamin Hubert, Front, Jo Nagasaka, Jonathan Olivares, and Raw Edges

Photography Angela Moore and Caspar Sejersen
