Explore the Eco-Friendly Benefits of Digital Textures and Sampling
Engaging in the textile industry means embracing the allure and tactile richness found in the vast array of constructions, finishes, colours, and designs. In an industry centred around the challenge of decision-making, the visual appeal, texture, or drape often drive us to adorn our homes with specific textiles. However, acknowledging the environmental consequences of these products, spanning from production to end-of-life, is an unavoidable reality.
We know how crucial it is for designers to find the right colour and texture in textiles to express their ideas and bring their designs to life. As a result, people often examine numerous physical samples to find the perfect textile. Our company aims to reduce these environmental impacts while still providing the widest range of textiles in the Southern Hemisphere.
Sample books, hangers, and memos often contribute to fabric waste, a factor frequently overlooked. At Zepel, we recognise this as an opportunity to lessen our impact and bridge the gap between the current state and the potential future. We aim to achieve this by providing high-resolution digital textures as an alternative.
Our digital textures are precise digital duplicates of our physical fabrics. These photorealistic digital representations can streamline and enhance the prototyping phase of a project, allowing designers to capture their desired look or scheme before the necessity of sampling the actual fabric.
