KLEREZOOI

Collaboration with Emile Van Opbroeck, Thijs Smits
- to be seen in circuit Antwerp, kringloopwinkel & ciLAB

Klerezooi came from a research about how we can combine awareness for textile waste into a statement piece design. Lots of clothing is intended to reuse but in belgium we still trow away 170.000 ton of textile waste, yearly. next to that, the increased bad quality of waste makes that more and more of it is unable to be reused.

With Klerezooi, we wanted to create a second life for this waste in any state, shreaded, coloured, .... The raw waste is used without any added proces, no cuttings, no colourings. With this effort we try to minimize textile dump.

​

There is no transportation of the waste textiles, no selection, no added proces. Instead of bringing the waste to the kringloop, to let them handle it, the user can use scruffy pieces to built and grow its own pouf.
