Luisa Cevesa has been a textile designer and researcher for many years. As Head of Research for a major Italian textile company she became aware of the amount and consistency of textile waste. This led her to consider the possibility of a design project (equals a production project) using scraps as a basic element. She started to combine textile waste with several sorts of plastics, and saw in the resulting material tremendous opportunities for development which neither a textile nor plastic producing company could fully exploit. Different kinds of textile waste, plastic with different properties and varied production facilities lead to an array of distinctive results. Gift of the designer.
