Many talk about keeping materials in use or in the flow but rarely you see it happening in one project.
So here is the flow for this project presented at #BIG2024 (Biennale Internazionale Grafica )
1) fishing nets also from Healthy Seas and other nylon waste became yarn for a beautiful carpet for the Helmut Newton exhibition in Milano.
2) That carpet was used for the exhibition and then, most of it, was reused thanks to the ingenuity and dedication of Franco Achilli and Aquafil Group.
3) 2 pieces of the carpet were given to each of a group of 9 artists and illustrators to create beautiful art pieces from them, adding their own style and techniques.
4) the 16 art pieces/rugs are now being sold, and the money will go to Healthy Seas for more marine conservation activities.
What if all the materials were to have these many lives, and all so beautiful?
Circular economy is not only about recycling and materials but also about beauty and dedication! 💕
Good journey beautiful rugs! May you have still many lives to live!

During #BIG2024 in Milan (Biennale Internazionale Grafica), eight talented artists transformed scraps from the “Helmut Newton Legacy” exhibition's fitted carpet into sixteen extraordinary artworks, symbolizing rebirth and beauty.
The "Helmut Newton Legacy" exhibition at Palazzo Reale in #Milan featured a sustainable initiative sponsored by our partner Aquafil Group . The exhibition used 1,300 square meters of #Econyl carpet, made from recycled nylon waste, including the fishing nets recovered by Healthy Seas. Architects Franco Achilli and Luigi Ciuffreda designed the exhibition with the intention of reusing the carpet post-event. Approximately 1,000 square meters were reused in offices, and 200 square meters were given to artists for creating tapestries themed around circular economy and the work of Helmut Newton.
Our recovered nets, part of the #recycled materials for the carpet, now embark on their third life as beautiful rugs decorated by the artists. We are very grateful that the proceeds from these artworks will support our marine conservation and litter collection efforts. Thank you!
We would like to welcome you to join us in celebrating this transformation at “The Sea as a Craftsman” exhibition, featuring unique techniques and styles from eight remarkable artists.
This initiative exemplifies a circular economy by transforming ocean waste into valuable resources, supporting sustainability, and fostering a continuous cycle of environmental responsibility and artistic #creativity.
We look forward to more collaborations where art and sustainability inspire positive change.

«For us, another key element of research and development is sustainability. Our idea of sustainability is to offer our customers products that are significantly more sustainable, that have less environmental impact. And beyond that, it is also to try to reduce more and more the use of energy and gas to get the same product, but with less energy consumption».

In modern societies, where millions of people travel and commute daily, the need for healthier and safer railway stations and facilities is more crucial than ever. Only by introducing innovative solutions can this become a reality.
At Vilagrasa, we feel honored to be contributing to revolutionize Waste Management at railway stations with smart bins, like our newly introduced Titan bin. Implementing this kind of technology saves time and reduces costs, prevents bins from overflowing and optimizes resources by cutting down CO2 emissions.
Explore the benefits of smart bins and join us in our mission of building healthier, more sustainable cities. Discover Titan: https://lnkd.in/dMMvMiTF

resentation of the new Glimmers AW25/26 Collection tomorrow at Milano Unica.
At the heart of the AW 25/26 collection, GLIMMERS encapsulates micro-moments of positive emotions, such as joy, serenity, or security – a striking contrast to ‘triggers’, moments that trigger anxiety.
Glimmers represents fleeting moments of positivity instead of uncertainty, potentially impacting mental well-being. We integrate this concept into various aspects, from product development to communication with brands and designers.
In the field of materials, the scarcity of resources gives rise to products designed with longevity and circularity in mind, with a focus on timeless solutions, exploring a continuous cycle of resource reuse.
This collection symbolises a journey towards a conscious and harmonious future, a blend of innovation with respect for the planet and its inhabitants. Collaborating with nature becomes essential, leading to a multifunctional design and adopting old practices for sustainable solutions.

Excited to be co-chair of the #DesignEntrepreneurship track with Youmin Yuan, NACAA Dean!
In our track, we intend to explore the transition of intercultural designers and entrepreneurs from "designing" to "leading." We hope to investigate this evolution from hands-on design to leadership roles, and the requisite dependencies on shared understanding with greater agency in diverse co-creation networks. The track will also examine how the planet can serve as a literal and metaphorical boundary object for intersubjective understanding. We plan to highlight the unique perspectives designers bring as their ethical influence increases, identifying and addressing gaps in their capacities to fulfill this new frontier.
Although less than a year away, we expect our discussions will focus on the dilemmas of maintaining creative essence while assuming leadership responsibilities, in addition to changing organizational and business models by ethically evolving with new tools, shared language, creative economies. The track encourages research on how trained designers take on leadership roles outside traditional design disciplines, particularly as they extend into entrepreneurs. We will discuss the power of purpose in designing more ethical businesses, including the levers of equitable business models, sustainable practices, and public-private partnerships.
Join us in Nantes for these important discussions and contribute to the evolving landscape of design and entrepreneurship as ethical leadership becomes our common raison d'être!

VMOTO PRESS CONFERENCE - UNVEILING APD CONCEPT BY PININFARINA
The #APD Concept is finally here!
#Vmoto unveiled during EICMA 2023 the APD Concept, developed in collaboration with the Centro Stile Pininfarina SpA, the first new model of the brand specialised in #UrbanElectricMobility for this edition of the Milanese kermesse.
The APD Concept represents the natural development of the vision presented at EICMA 2022 and like the first styling maquete, the latest version of the APD puts the #aerodynamic study at the centre of its development process, considered a determining element for the design of the vehicle but also for obtaining the best #performance in terms of dynamic performance and range.
Thanks to Pininfarina's unique know-how in the field of aerodynamic studies and the tests made in the Pininfarina #windtunnel, Vmoto achieved its first 100% electric #maxiscooter 'Sculpted By The Wind'.
Vmoto is really proud of this achievement that sets an unmatched and unique benchmark in the electric mobility market.
