Pra Carpet

DESIGN AND PRODUCTION Darja Malešič

Instead of buying a product we can make it ourselves, with the help of online course.

We begin by weaving a braid, which we later sew together into a circular or oval shape. Corn husk has been used by different nations around the world, from Native Americans to the Japanese. In Slovenia, corn husks have traditionally been used for doormats. The aim of this project is also to transfer knowledge and preserve traditional manufacturing techniques. This is a simple example of circular economy, where waste is the basic raw material for a product that can be composted when its life cycle is completed.


Material Corn husk, cellulose fiber cord
