Description

Inspired by home textile waste, upcycling is the focus here to raise awareness of the negative impacts of fast homeware. A multifunctional outfit that combines aesthetics and practicality is created. Staying at home can be enjoyable with exciting and interesting clothing.

Covid-19 has created a massive demand for homeware textile which are easy to replace because they are inexpensive. Yet, ‘fast’ production has environmental impacts.

The design is inspired by recycled fabric and furnishing, window shades, carpeting, towels, table covers, bed sheets, cushions and art. Collecting and upgrading are examined to evaluate improvements in upcycling. Features of furniture and zero waste patterns are used. Inside- out and patchwork with raw edges offer vintage vibes, in line with waste fabric.
