(Un)woven is a non-woven made of various types of post-consumer or post-industrial fibres. A natural glue, developed by Studio Sarmite (patent pending) gives the fibres a paper-like texture and strength.

• (Un)woven does not aim to replace leather. It is an entirely different material with new and unique properties. It resembles paper, yet feels like textile. It can be made in sheets or moulded in 3D shapes.

• (Un)woven can be used for a wide range of applications that require a sturdy textile-like material. Upholstery, surfaces, accessories, shoes and bags are among the few applications we have tried out already.

• The material can be easily stitched, embroidered, engraved and laser cut.

• (Un)woven is not waterproof and should not be washed in a washing machine. Dust and dirt can be cleaned off with damp cloth.

• We are working towards this goal. At the moment we are looking for investors, business partners and producers.

• While the biotextile is fully functional, at the moment it is still partly handmade.

(Un)woven is fully functional and we are excited to enter collaborations and partnerships.

We value circularity over plain longevity. That is why we use a natural, biodegradable glue that ensures that the biotextile can be recycled at the end of its life. How does that look? The biotextile can be dissolved via a special process and the fibres – repurposed for future production.
