Local textile

by Lison Guéguen · France · ONA1082 · Published 03 Feb 2025
About this material

This material is made out of carex, a local plant, and linen thread as part of the textile collection “Local surfaces”. It is made out of material foraged around Lison Guéguen’s workshop in Brittany, France.

It’s handwoven on a traditional mechanical loom. It can be used for functional pieces such as curtains, lamp shades, or as part of design furniture. It can also be used, by itself, as indoor decorative surfaces such as wall panels.

No treatment is added in order to keep it fully compostable.
