Furniture collection made from Textilite: artificial stone created from recycled textile waste
By
Davide Balda
Summary
Chromaterico Textile Objects is a furniture collection by Archeomaterico (Davide Balda) in collaboration with Chroma Composites, based on Textilite — an artificial stone made from recycled textile waste. Discarded garments and fabric offcuts are mechanically ground into synthetic and organic fibers, then combined with a bio-based resin to create a durable composite material. The collection includes tables, stools, and vases that showcase the material's aesthetic and structural qualities, demonstrating a circular material strategy that transforms waste into functional design objects.
