A JOURNEY TOWARDS FULL CIRCULARITY
Ebe is an innovative, research-based design studio that provides creative reuse alternatives to discarded textile materials. The studio redirects leftovers, stocks, samples from textile productions to cyclical systems and explores solutions of greater value and purpose.
Ebe creates synergic connections among textile players. Whether it is a local craftsmen, social cooperative, factory or artist the studio engages them to take part of the circular journey.
