A Unique Carpet, designed by Nawaaz Saldulker,
woven by local craftsman Ntsei, marked with his woven signature, manufactured in Cape Town, South Africa, in 2018. The carpet features tree and insect motifs. Size c. 250 cm x 130 cm. (MHA)
A unique piece.
With the fact that many garbage trucks of clothes are burned or sent to a landfill, this rug is handwoven with discarded t-shirts, which is used as its raw material. The carpet was exhibited as part of the “Waste no more, Ventura Centrale” exhibition by Li Edelkoort and Philip Fimmano, which focused on the sustainable use of waste materials.
“Designers are indelibly linked to the systems that produce and perpetuate junk, and also to the systems that try to eliminate or transform it.” (Nawaaz Saldulker)
