Throwback to last summer when the H.E.R.B.S. Paper

Throwback to last summer when the H.E.R.B.S. Paper project was in process. During these cold winter days we are looking forward to days filled with sun and new colors. 🌞

Sneak preview of our new project for @circulairwar

Sneak preview of our new project for @circulairwarenhuis, a second hand shop in Leiden (NL). Every year they receive 130.000 kg of textiles of which only 12.000 kg can be sold. How can all the other textiles find a new purpose? And what is more important the quality or the quantity of recycling? This question caused quite some dilemmas: is the recycling of synthetic materials truely the best option? We don’t think so. More info soon.

“We are part of this planet, not just visitors.

“We are part of this planet, not just visitors. That’s a huge difference.” I fully agree with Craig Foster, the maker of My Octopus Teacher. How different would we act if we could réally realize this? With all the projects we do we hope to share this message as well. Maybe in different words, but the intention is the same.

Mini MOURN - an urn made of biodegrable bioplastic

Mini MOURN - an urn made of biodegrable bioplastic and cremation ashes. A way to prevent soil- and groundwater pollution, since it only releases the nutrients and toxins from the ashes at the speed the soil can process them. Project from 2017 - ongoing.

Thinking in circles and long term solutions is an

Thinking in circles and long term solutions is an important part of our design method. We try to see the big picture and this is what we try to visualize in our designs. Like in the SEA ME Collection, where we use all waste streams from seaweed for another application, from yarn to dye to a paper like material. That’s how we end up having no waste and used all the beautiful potential of the seaweed.

SAGE

I am working on exciting continuations of the H.E.R.B.S. project with the aim to make as many people as possible aware of the dangers of synthetical textile dyeing for the environment and our health. And give as many people as possible the opportunity to wear healthy herbal dyes. More info will follow soon!

H.E.R.B.S. Paper is a collaborative project on how to use the waste after dyeing textiles with herbs like Rosemary and Sage. Together with @fant.projects and @loesschepens we created not only textile dyes, but also paper and collages. The process was documented by @charlotvisser and all the results will be shown at @paperartanddesign from this Saturday on. ✨

LET’S BE A PART OF NATURE instead of being apart

LET’S BE A PART OF NATURE instead of being apart from nature, as @davidattenborough suggests in his documentary “A life on our planet”. A must see for all of us. Time to rewild, it’s not too late yet.

On the 17th of October the exhibition “Zwevende Waarnemingen” at @paperartanddesign will open. Together with @fant.projects and @loesschepens we continued the H.E.R.B.S project to see if the waste of the natural dyeing process can be turned into paper, so the herbs are fully used. The research and results are part of the exhibition.

The project is photographed by @charlotvisser, who also took this lovely picture of sage paper pulp.
