Über mich

In India, jute is often perceived as a low-value, rough textile. Lumière challenges this perception by transforming jute into a rigid, moulded material using tree resin as a natural, biodegradable binder.

By altering its physical properties, from rough textile to solid form, the project shifts consumer mindset and redefines jute as a refined and valuable material through sustainable design.

By crafting male and female mold parts from what we had on hand, we made sustainable jute molding possible through ingenuity.
