This project explores the possibilities of up-cycling "selvage", the fabric edges produced during the weaving process. Inspired by the unique appeal of this material, we aim to repurpose it into new products and artworks that highlight its distinctive characteristics beautifully and sustainably.
Form 1: Installation
We create vibrant Propeller Flowers that spin and bounce by attaching coil springs to fringes, showcasing the material's potential and sparking curiosity.
Form 2: Bags
We offer unique fringe products, including patchwork drawstring bags from discarded fabric, pouches from reused fringe lint, and compact, stretchable totes. Each piece features a one-of-a-kind material and color combination, adding extra value and making the search for your favorite design enjoyable.
Form 3: Furniture
We propose an eco-friendly invention for decorating furniture, railings, and objects. Utilizing tape-like fringe characteristics, it adapts to 3D shapes, wrapping without measuring or causing damage. This addresses the short lifespan of products by giving them new life, adding texture and color while hiding damaged parts. This sustainable method encourages interaction and affection, transforming interiors with a fresh, vibrant look.
