Impact
“As the ecological crisis intensifies 55 CLOUD wants architects to ‘change’ their prescriptions and move towards less polluting materials that protect the planet.”
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
CHANGE
55 CLOUD offers an environmentally-friendly material: change. Derived from the recovery of plastic bottles from the ocean, they are transformed into polyester fibers. Change combines luxury, comfort and stylish design.
NATURAL DYEING
Until 1860, only natural dyes were used, but after this date, artificial colors began to appear. Today, master dyers perpetuate their know-how, jealously guarding formulas such as saffron and pomegranate skin for yellow. From primary colors we move on to secondary colors, a long process involving immersion in several successive baths. The colors are unique and flamboyant, making each creation an exceptional piece.
ECO-FRIENDLY ACTIONS
Samples are packaged with a black reusable silk bow, no bag supplied. We avoid overproduction and have no rugs in stock. Each rug is produced for a specific project. Old carpet samples are donated to art schools.
IMPACT ON SOCIETY
We donate part of our profits to the french organization called “les restos du cœur”. At the same time, we help the workshops we work with through differents kinds of collects. Our aim is to overcome North-South inequalities.
Every year, we want to do better in terms of donations and support.
55 CLOUD‘s partner workshops are carefully selected for their ethics, their moral values, their desire to work and their excellence. Each has been visited, and signed the 55 CLOUD code of conduct.
