Reversible plaid, 160 x 120 cm, one side is a patchwork of wool fabrics, one side is wax printed cotton with a yellow and black pattern.

This plaid with orange piping is number 08 of a limited series of 50.

From the collaboration between Talking Hands and isOnAir comes "50 Re/Plaids", a series of 50 limited-edition blankets created for our brand is<again.

Ours is a warm 160 x 120 cm blanket to wrap yourself in on the sofa at home or to keep on the terrace to enjoy the pleasure of being outdoors at (almost) any temperature.

Each plaid is double-sided, one side is the result of the assembly of different parts of wool fabric coming from the "Lanificio Paoletti dal 1795", and the other side is printed cotton with geometric Wax Print patterns from the Ivorian UNIWAX.

50 Re/Plaids is a project that celebrates diversity. No two blankets are alike.

Talking Hands is a permanent laboratory of design and social innovation.
Born in 2016, Talking Hands encourages participants to use design and manual activity as a form of narrating their biographies, places of origin, journeys made, and dreams.

The waste of resources we avoided is not only about how much material was saved from the landfill but also how much was saved compared to using newly produced wool. 
 
Engineer3d's analysis, carried out using LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) methodology, shows that the following have been avoided:
 
• The emission of 930 kg CO2, equivalent to 3580 km of driving;
• The consumption of 380 000 liters of water, equal to 1.5M glasses of water or 470 days of drinking water;
• The use of 400 kWh of energy produced from fossil fuel.
