Flax has been cultivated across Europe, with each region carrying its own rituals and practices. Today, much of this cultural memory is fading. The project bridges two areas that are rarely addressed together: textile waste and erosion of cultural identity, exploring how discarded materials can regain symbolic and ecological value. The resulting objects—a bench and a floor basket—draw from archetypal forms of flax processing: tied bundles, tall stalks, and combed shooks. By reinterpreting these forms, the project combines sustainable design, material experimentation, craft, and ethno-design, transforming waste into objects that preserve fragments of cultural memory.
