A Unique Carpet, designed by Nawaaz Saldulker,
woven by local craftsman Philiswa, marked with his woven signature, manufactured in Cape Town, South Africa, in 2018. The carpet features tree and animal 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.
“Junk is the trail that is left in the wake of growth and global trade, a product of industry, an indicator of income and social status, a material, an aesthetic.”
