Bonotto and Miniwiz present “Gardening the Trash”, together they created a first glimpse at what the future of fabrics in fashion might look like. #MDW2017
Bonotto, a historic brand for creative textiles, collaborates with Miniwiz, specialized in circular technology, to present “Gardening the Trash” at Fuorisalone 2017, with the artistic direction of Cristiano Seganfreddo.
“Gardening the Trash”, an intense design dialogue between two large companies based in Europe and Asia is about using human ingenuity to alter nature as it has been done since the beginning of time. Now that human–created trash has become one with our waterways, our air, our soil, we should garden our trash or harvest what we gave back. The aim is to manufacture and offer premium experiences made from what was already consumed and lead the luxury fashion industry into the circular economy where nothing is wasted and everything is possible.
From the fairy-tale Japanese garden at entrance on Via Durini, it is possible to see the first tapestry that creates a horizontal mimetic pattern in which simple circles become true and proper inflorescenses. The second tapestry within the space is a microscopic and panoramic vision of the jungle in which flowers become living, to produce a movement. The two tapestries on the wall have flowery designs and creepers that can change according to the heat, becoming lively with interactive details. It is a new concept of tapestries, ones that are able to interact with the users of the place and that are changeable according to the mood, by simple instruments.
