Casc8 sets out to challenge the way we perceive materials.

Born out of the desire to be part of a positive contribution to the increasingly serious plastic waste reality around the globe.

 
 
 

Casc8 is at present collaborating with NGO organisation Khamir in Gujarat, India - whose initiative is to collect plastic waste polluting the landscape, to transform it into a useful material through a process of hand weaving.

It is a project that helps sustain the environmental ecology as well as the culture of local craftsmanship.

The socio-economic initiative was started by the local Artisans who could see the possibilities in transforming the easily available plastic waste into a woven material by using traditional craftsmanship methods.

 
 

After the plastic has been collected, it is washed and cut into strips to be handwoven on traditional wooden looms. Everything in the process of creating the up-cycled plastic textiles is handcrafted.

  • Casc8 is an independent Copenhagen based brand and design studio creating limited edition collections using textile made from discarded plastic.


    Rooted in textile as a point of departure, Casc8’s contemporary craftsmanship envision a future, in which we take better care of our natural resources, and find innovative ways of transforming post consumer materials, working towards a circular economy.

  • Casc8 stockists include Galeries Lafayette in Paris, Louisiana Museum of Modern Art and Storm Copenhagen. The brand has been featured in publications including Vogue and Elle Denmark, and exhibited at Museum of Design Atlanta, Danish Architecture Center and at Hyères Festival.
