Salone Milan 2011 Video: Tapis Noues by Sjoerd Jonkers

By Lisa Smith - April 20, 2011

in Salone Milan

This year at Tuttobene, the annual presentation of sustainable design from Dutch designers, Sjoerd Jonkers presented "Tapis Noués", a knotted rug made from tricot cutoffs from the fashion industry. According to Jonkers, the tricot is spun by factories into a heavy rope, which is used to pad mattress wires and other under-the-surface applications. Jonkers chanced upon it in a hunt for material inspiration, and had it knotted into large carpets. Because of the thickness of the rope, a rug comes together relatively quickly, keeping the costs low.
