IT IS POSSIBLE Beauty and sustainability are not incompatible and can proceed together in an inseparable way contributing to each other’s success. LORENZA BOZZOLI’s COUTURE pouf collection is made in Italy using in all its components exclusively recycled and regenerated materials maintaining the high quality standards of Italian master craftsmanship with the use of nineteenth-century hand looms for the decorative elements. The poufs are composed of three elements: structure (internal frame), padding and upholstery (fabric and decorative fringes) which, through different phases, become the finished product in an ideal scenario of circular economics. 1 – SALVAGE Structure: internal frame created with polyethylene recouped from the production waste of the company SLIDE that is specialised in rotational mould objects. Padding: formed with expanded polyurethane recovered from the processing waste of thermal building materials. Upholstery: manufactured with nylon salvaged from landfills and from fishing nets taken back from the sea. 2- REGENERATE Structure: the polyethylene objects are cut and shredded until they return to their initial powder state for new production in rotational moulds. Padding: the expanded polyurethane is broken down into flakes, selected, washed and heat-agglomerated using polyurethane resins. Upholstery: the nylon waste is regenerated by an exclusive purification process done by the company ECONYL until it returns to its initial quality. 3 – REMAKE Structure: The powdered polyethylene is reused in the rotational mould from which the frame that constitutes the internal structure of the pouf is extracted. Padding: The heatagglomerated expanded polyurethane formed in sheets of different thicknesses and density is cut and glued to make the padding. Upholstery: The regenerated nylon is transformed into a yarn that is processed to obtain the covering fabric and the realisation of the fringes woven 3/4 by hand on nineteenth-century looms. 4- REINVENTING The eco-friendly pouf of the Couture collection is handcrafted by specialised upholsterers using exclusively recycled and regenerated materials without the collection losing any aesthetic or technical qualities. A product that at the end of its life can go back to step 1 of the regeneration process: IT IS POSSIBLE.
