Studio Wae
We want to make beautiful things from Wa(e)ste.
Studio Wae’s vision is to make an impact on natural raw material extraction by turning residual flows into scalable and beautiful products. We believe it is important that everyone becomes aware that waste can have a positive value. By using product waste resources, we extend the lifecycle of these resources.
CIRCULAR CARPETS AND FLOORING
Our unique carpets with geometrical shapes, are made of 100% production waste from well known carpet tile producers in the Netherlands. Collaboration contracts have been signed with these pioneers in sustainability to prolong the lifespan of their waste. Choose any color, shape and size to create a unique carpet that fits any space. The M.C. Escher-inspired shapes and unique clicking system, providing complete freedom to create any design.
SOCIAL IMPACT
The production of Wae’s carpet collection happens in Bunnik, near by Utrecht and is executed by people with limited job opportunities in our own workplace. Our mission is to employ as many Syrian residence permit holders as possible, offering them a solid base to build a future in the Netherlands.
CIRCULAR PAVING
We make circular paving that is made of 76% recycled raw materials extracted from Urban Mining (= old paving and materials from buildings, that are up for demolishment). With the production of the concrete tiles, we are able to combine our love for design and passion for recycling.
