RE—GAINED X WEVED
The Re—gained Lounge Chair 01 is the first product resulting from a
collaboration between Regained and Weved, an initiative of artist Claudy
Jongstra. This timeless piece of furniture is a tactile, elegant and
comfortable folding chair for both terrace and living room. Composed of
recycled hardwood from construction waste and unused Dutch wool, the chair tells
a powerful story about the potential of the surplus of our current industry.
Weved
is an initiative of artist and designer Claudy Jongstra and Stefan Koper with
which they draw attention to Dutch wool. At this moment the wool of most Dutch
sheep herds is destroyed, while it is a great natural material with
fantastic qualities.
Weved
developed a sturdy fabric from Drenthe heath sheep. Since there is no longer a
wool industry in the Netherlands, the wool is processed and dyed with natural
dyes in collaboration with Studio Claudy Jongstra, spun in Ireland and then
woven into a beautiful quality fabric with the Enschede artisan weaving mill
Ter Kuile. Weved is therefore not only an initiative to reintroduce Dutch
woolen textiles, but also to bring the crafts around them back to life, and to
contribute to biodiversity in the landscape by cultivating biodynamic dye
plants.
The
chair is produced in collaboration with DZB Leiden and Boro Atelier in
Amsterdam.
