Designing systems to activate textile waste

About
About
URBAN FIBERS is a design studio formed by Tau Pibernat and Vera Castelijns. We share a vision of rethinking the flawed systems in the existing textile industry. We propose a new concept of sustainable textiles in which we combine locally available material resources (such as discarded used clothing) and the existing fabrication infrastructure. We thrive for a new design paradigm adjusted to the current climate and resource crisis and want to reinvent the design community by developing circular and fair processes of sorting, making and re-manufacturing together.
