This summer we celebrate the launch of our first upholstery textile woven with recycled polyester made entirely from textile waste: Ame. Ame is an upholstery textile designed by Teruhiro Yanagihara that embodies longevity and mindful reuse in its construction and aesthetic

Ame showcases the potential of textile-to-textile recycled polyester.

Textile-to-textile recycled polyester is crafted from textile waste and offers the same performance as virgin polyester. The textile waste is first collected, sorted, and shredded, before being recycled using a depolymerization technology. It is then purified from any chemicals and dyes, repolymerised into polyester chips and spun into yarn. This circular process closes the loop within the textile lifecycle.
