Kvadrat has designed Ame, a textile product made from recycled waste.

Ame is the first textile-to-textile project from Kvadrat Innovation Lab, woven with recycled polyester made entirely from textile waste.

Featuring a design inspired by Sashiko, a traditional Japanese mending technique, Ame embodies longevity and mindful reuse in its construction and aesthetic.

"[We] work with a wide range of recycled raw materials, but we believe that the future will be circular and so for Ame, [we] developed the first yarn made from polyester textile waste," said Kvadrat.


This project has been longlisted in the material innovation category of Dezeen Awards 2024.
