(Un)woven is a non-woven made of various types of post-consumer or post-industrial fibres. The biodegradable binding process developed by Studio Sarmite (patent pending) gives the final material 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.

• (Un)woven can be used for a wide range of applications that require a sturdy textile-like material. We recommend applications such as wallpapers, panels and decorative surfaces.

• 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.

• While (Un)woven is fully functional, at the moment it is still partly handmade.

• We are looking for collaborators, business partners and producers.

• Current lead time is 6-8 weeks.

• (Un)woven is produced in sheets, sizes depend on order specifics.

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.
