13RUGS: EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN APPROACHES IN THE CONTEXT OF INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION PROCESSES

How can innovative design ideas be established in an existing industrial company? A call to designers and industry to develop design concepts together. The carpet manufacturer 13RUGS by rohi produces unique custom-made carpets from high quality wool: the colour, shape and design concept is defined together with the customer and implemented regionally. The carpets are created by recycling unavoidable textile surpluses in the textile industry. This is our motivation: production surplus as an alternative source of raw materials for future-oriented product design.
