Curate curiosity.

When Patcraft product designers Amanda Hopkins and Erin Helm set out to design the styles for the Material Edit collection, they started on separate creative tracks. While sifting through past works of art, Amanda reconnected with methods and techniques, tapping into her creative history for inspiration. Erin also rediscovered art forms she had not explored in a while - mixing mediums with natural materials like stone and wood. When the two designers connected one day to share their processes, they realized that these two initially separate projects had many shared commonalities.

They joined forces, deciding to develop the collection in tandem, working together on color, size, shape and layout. And reconnected personally and collaboratively to rediscover their own 'lost art' in the process.

SUSTAINABILITY

INSIDE-OUT DESIGN

HOW DO WE DESIGN A LOW EMBODIED CARBON PRODUCT?

By closing the loop. Circular design encourages us to rethink our processes and how we make our products. Our goal is to lower the embodied carbon footprint of our products as much as possible by reducing the need to extract raw material in our manufacturing through reclamation and recycling - recycled content to create new products out of old.

ECOSOLUTION Q100 FIBER

Our yarn system uses 100% post-industrial recycled content, helping to lower the carbon footprint of our EcoWorx® carpet tile. Meaning we purchase fewer verified carbon offsets to make our products carbon neutral.

RECYCLABLE RESILIENT

Through our [reTURN] reclamation program, we will take back any Shaw-made resilient products, in addition to any EcoWorx or ReWorx products to be recycled and made back into itself - reinserting ingredient back into product - reducing our reliance on raw material extraction
