Clothing brand joins hands with Amsterdam designer

Next time, you might think twice before deciding to throw that one pair of three-quarter pants in the trash. During Milan Design Week, Italian clothing brand Colmar announced that it has joined forces with Amsterdam-based designer Kees Dekkers. The result of the collaboration: a high-quality piece of sustainable design made from discarded garments.
No Waste Chair | Colmar

With high-end fashion, disposable mouth caps, cosmetics and other materials that are no longer used, designer Kees Dekkers highlights the No Waste Chair highlights the different sides of the uncomfortable problem of waste. Each unique chair tells its own story with varying contents.

After Colmar met with the Dutch designer, the seed for Colmar Again planted. A project that brings art together with the brand, which is celebrating its centennial this year, with the goal of raising environmental awareness.

Manifesto against waste

The project is a manifesto against waste and in favor of optimizing circularity in the production chain; a way to give objects a new life through art, by looking it straight in the eye or, as in this case, sitting on it. Colmar Again includes 20 chairs, each with a different padding and therefore unique, on display during Design Week from April 17 to 23 at the Colmar Flagship Store in Piazza Gae Aulenti.
