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 strive 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.
