Can we give a second life to leftovers from textile production?

Counter-shapes

Martina Caprin
Clara Vardon

This project investigate the waste of the textile production, with a focus on the cut-and-sew scraps produced when shaping garments. The repetition of outlines indentified allowed us to create a language based on countershapes. We propose a DIY methodology through an illustrated booklet to let people create new things out of scraps. The project was realised together with Spinnradl cut-outs waste.
