Gärsnäs x Woolution
Woolution is a collaboration among industry, research, and innovation actors aimed at reducing dependence on imported, fossil-based fibres, strengthening resource security, and providing the industry with access to bio-based, traceable materials. It is led by Dalarna Science Park and includes brands such as Filippa K, Gärsnäs, H. Östberg, Houdini Sportswear, N-O-D Network of Design, Nordifa, The Garden Company Sweden AB, Tini Garments AB, Tranås Garveri, and Woolpower.
“For Gärsnäs, it is natural to participate in a project that makes use of a Swedish natural resource that currently goes to waste. Swedish wool has great potential as a furniture material, both functionally and in terms of sustainability, and the project makes it possible to scale up its use in a serious way,” says Head of Sustainability at Gärsnäs, Fredrik Wallenholm.
