A sustainable and innovative upcycling approach

Karawan works with Vietnamese craftsmen to create this collection of objects made from recycled tyres. The craftsmen give a second life to used tyres, using extremely precise handwork to transform old, worn-out materials into new ones. Their know-how illustrates the talent of recovery in a context of scarce resources, where any material is used, stimulating ingenuity.

When creativity and durability combine to create a unique multi-purpose piece... Whether indoors or outdoors, recycled tyres are all-purpose!

Working with tyres: meticulous expertise

It is the craftsmen's skill in stripping and stitching the tyres that makes each item unique, marked by its irregularities. Textile-reinforced tyres, which are different from those used in Western countries, are stripped with a knife to reveal up to 12 layers. These pre-formed sheets, retaining the shape of the tyre, are then rolled up, cut, sewn or riveted to create creative, eco-friendly, reusable everyday objects.
