RECYCLED WOOLLEN ISLAND
The Recycled Woollen Island installation, created by Patricia Urquiola for the NGV Triennial in Melbourne, is a prime example of the creative collaboration between the designer and GAN. In this project, Urquiola transforms waste into highly comfortable pieces, exploring sustainable design through her signature lens.
Inspired by the everyday gesture of leaving socks on the floor, the pieces form modular islands that combine recycled wool felt with PET bands. The design, featuring a terrazzo-like aesthetic, reflects GAN's commitment to the circular economy. One gets the feeling that these pieces prove that regeneration and design can go hand-in-hand naturally.
