Sustainable, ethical rug making
- • Ute upcycles textile remnants into rugs
- • She has developed a unique technique
- • Her work is ethically and ecologically sustainable
The sustainable use of resources and the longevity of products have always been key aspects of Ute Ketelhake’s design approach. “Already during my studies in 1983, I dealt with recycling, at that time a rather unpopular topic,” she says. However, it took two decades of working and gaining experience as a freelance designer, consultant, and lecturer until she felt it was the right time to fully focus on the question: why continue to launch more products with a limited lifespan when so much is already available? With that in mind Ute developed a unique technique to upcycle brand new pre-consumer waste material from the textile industry, combining it with traditional weaving techniques to create ecological, sustainable products.
