THE WEIGHT OF SOFT<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo wonderfully soft, one might not be enough.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This slogan appears on the website of a multinational home textiles and furniture manufacturer, promoting blankets made from recycled polyester for \u20ac4.99 each. Polyester\u2014a sediment of our time. The textile industry has already produced enough fabrics to serve generations. For the artwork, Laura Harjam\u00e4ki wove polyester weft into a silk-wool warp. Perhaps we, as designers, can find new value and purpose for these sediments, ensuring that even this \u20ac4.99 piece still has a role to play ten years from now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
