REWILDER is a simple idea – take beautiful, strong materials that are being thrown away and give them a second life. Our journey began in 2014, when we quit our respective industry jobs to make a change in the way things are made and consumed. Combining passions for art, design, and creative problem solving, we began experimenting with an industrial discard material – filter cloth – to determine how to give this material a second life.
