Acoustic tiles made from moulded Luffa. The indigo colour is achieved by reusing wastewater from the denim-dyeing industry. Like most textiles, denim-making starts with plain white cotton. What many people don’t realize is that blue-jean process is poisonous to water supplies in communities such as Xintang, China.
Luffa’s highly absorbent fibbers can be used to soak up these harmful dyes that would otherwise be discharged. The result is a series of beautiful indigo wall tiles suitable for home and office interiors.
