From Dutch Wool and Seaweed
Alfombra de lana coloreada con algas marinas
The Knitwit Stable y Zeefier han unido sus fuerzas para crear From Dutch Wool and Seaweed, una alfombra sostenible fabricada con lana local teñida con algas ecológicas. Inspirada en la costa holandesa, esta colaboración hace hincapié en los recursos locales y minimiza los residuos utilizando algas marinas y subproductos de la lana. Zeefier, fundada por Nienke Hoogvliet y Anne Boermans, produce tintes a base de algas, mientras que The Knitwit Stable, fundada por Reina Ovinge, reactiva la producción holandesa de lana. Juntos defienden una producción sostenible a escala industrial que respete la naturaleza, los animales y las comunidades locales.
