INTERLOOM
Wearable, Adaptable, Recycled
INTERLOOM is a modular, repairable wearable line made from discarded inner bike tubes collected from local shops in Eindhoven. Designed for anyone who values durability and functionality, it turns local waste into long-lasting products. The woven pieces use a modular system, allowing components and sizing (S to L) to be adapted or replaced, which extends the product's lifespan and reduces waste. Production is low-tech, keeping energy use low.
