FIBRE.

FIBRE. reimagines the connection between animals, plants, and humans through our shared ability to grow fibres. This initiative transforms wasted human material into handcrafted interior design pieces, emphasizing the importance of a circular and equal material ecosystem. Inspired by Bruce Mau's belief that beauty can inspire change, FIBRE. aims to address global challenges.

The principles of Deep Ecology guides FIBRE.,offering humans an opportunity to contribute once again. Historically, human hair was repurposed for various uses, yet now 72 million kilograms are wasted annually in Europe. FIBRE. blends material design, textile art, and craft, revaluing human resources while promoting local sourcing and craftsmanship.

Through research on hair properties, FIBRE. challenges the functionality of industrial and natural materials. It strives to create sustainable solutions for the textile industry, recognizing that our grown fibres hold equal value to those in nature. FIBRE. aims to unite humans with the natural world for a more sustainable future.
