It’s possible: while working in the garment industry, product designer Seok Park<\/strong> saw the vast amounts of leftovers that are created. It inspired him to put them to good use. With his studio Popopo from Eindhoven<\/strong>, he launched the OFFCUTS project for this reason. In the OFFCUT collection, additional parts for garments are made from fabric scraps \u2013 fabric scraps that are left over from the production of exactly these garments<\/strong> and that offer added value when the garments are used. The goal is not only to reuse scraps, but also to add value to them to make another product and thus incorporate them into the garments produced.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n

\u00bbThrough the project, I would like to point out the potential materiality of these leftovers by discovering their own unique story as a general material beyond industrial by-products or reusable waste.\u00ab<\/p>\n

17.4: This is the percentage of excess cut produced in the production of chore jackets, the classic workwear item. The functional value is now obsolete \u2013 so the project uses +17.4% leftover pieces from 60 Chore Jackets<\/strong> to produce a collection of practical accessories. These accessories offer additional benefits for specific conditions such as weather conditions of the different seasons and more.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
