Sustainability

As an art and design studio and a small business, we are committed to reducing our environmental footprint throughout every step of our projects. Focused on sustainability and finding creative ways to repurpose items, Edte aims to reuse as many materials as possible with every new product we create.

The Edte project stemmed from an abundance of fabric I brought back from Germany after graduating from Bauhaus. During my MFA, I had been given mountains of Stoffreste— fabric scraps and trimmings recovered from waste bins and donated by Thorey Gera Textilveredelung GmbH, a textile manufacturer in Gera — which I initially used for an art installation. As the brand has grown, I’ve had to source new materials, but I continue to prioritize sustainable choices wherever possible.
