I love waste, working with waste.
I have been a textile designer and researcher for
many years. As Head of Research for a major Italian textile company I became aware of
the amount and consistency of textile waste. This led me to consider the
possibility of a design project (equals a production project) using scraps as a basic
element.
Having gained some understanding of the plastics industry and technology, I started to
combine textile waste with plastic of different kinds.
I saw in this new material such tremendous
opportunity for development which neither a textile nor plastic producing company
could fully exploit, that I decided to take on the challenge and started LUISA CEVESE
RIEDIZIONI.
Different kinds of textile waste, plastic with
different properties and different production facilities lead me to an array of
different results.
My objective is to find the simplest solution which involves, in the widest possible
sense, the minimum of waste.
