This project investigates circular textile practices and is based on a research
conducted by Mirella Soyer. On average, a person owns approximately 136
garments. Of these, around 30% have their labels removed, amounting to 41
discarded labels per wardrobe.
Despite containing valuable information about material composition and
garment care, these labels are often seen as irritating or unnecessary and
are cut off. The 2CLOSET Stool responds to this overlooked aspect of
textile waste. The cushion is constructed from 82 repurposed labels,
the equivalent of labels discarded from two average wardrobes. While a single
label may seem insignificant, collectively they represent a material resource
that can be reclaimed and revalued.
