From Dutch Wool and Seaweed

Alfombra de lana coloreada con algas marinas

Ganador de la Categoria Interior & Estilo de Vida

The Knitwit Stable y Zeefier han unido sus fuerzas para crear From Dutch Wool and Seaweed, una alfombra sostenible fabricada con lana local teñida con algas ecológicas. Inspirada en la costa holandesa, esta colaboración hace hincapié en los recursos locales y minimiza los residuos utilizando algas marinas y subproductos de la lana. Zeefier, fundada por Nienke Hoogvliet y Anne Boermans, produce tintes a base de algas, mientras que The Knitwit Stable, fundada por Reina Ovinge, reactiva la producción holandesa de lana. Juntos defienden una producción sostenible a escala industrial que respete la naturaleza, los animales y las comunidades locales.

Jury Statement: Made from locally sourced Dutch wool and eco-friendly seaweed dye, this carpet shows the commitment to sustainability by minimizing waste and ecological footprint through local production. Water pollution is avoided by using natural and non-toxic dyes, and waste is kept to a minimum thanks to its biodegradable and circular design. Furthermore, the use of natural and minimal processed materials requires less energy as compared to conventional textile. Simply – amazing product!
