David’s Redress Design Award collection, ‘Handstraußregel’, is inspired by the designer’s nature-focused, slow lifestyle growing up in the Austrian countryside. The collection focuses on using innovative alternatives to conventional materials, fusing the naturally shed wool of non-farm animals, which are only sheared for their own wellbeing, together with native fruits and alginate to create a leather-like biomaterial. This handmade biodegradable textile utilises waste produced from the food industry – incorporating natural ingredients such as apricots, cherries, and apples. The resulting materials need not be sorted or processed, as the raw fibres already provide enough strength.
