The Loom Lounge, a recent project of Carl’s, is a testament to this philosophy. Constructed entirely from discarded textiles and metal offcuts, the three-seater sofa combines industrial and handcrafted techniques to give new life to materials that might otherwise be forgotten. Partnering with After to source second-hand textiles, Carl set out to create a piece that sparks conversation about waste and its potential for reimagining.

It all begins with community.
