The Jute Light is made from 50% jute fibers and 50% porcelain plaster. The combination of jute and plaster ensures that both materials reinforce each other. The jute fibers act as reinforcement within the plaster while also creating a distinctive and unique pattern. The strength and beauty of the material are highlighted in the pendant lamp’s minimalist design.
The jute fibers used, which resemble a type of fluff, come from Forbo’s flooring factory. This natural fiber is the only waste material generated during the production of Forbo’s linoleum. by By working with this waste material, the linoleum becomes a zero-waste product. Gypsum, like glass, is infinitely recyclable and can be used in a wide variety of applications after processing. Before the two materials are mixed together, the fibers are preferably dyed with natural dyes, such as indigo, turmeric, or red ochre.
