This project is a collaboration between Lobo Mau and designer/maker, Jen Tiberi; a mini capsule showing the brand’s intention to expand its sustainable practices and cultivated aesthetic into home décor and new areas of design.

This capsule collection is 90% zero waste. Pillows are made with Lobo Mau’s production remnants and deadstock, while all furniture pieces are upcycled and reupholstered in hemp/organic cotton from a local Pennsylvania Mill. Textile inks used are 100% organic and printed at Lobo Mau’s design studio in South Philadelphia’s BOK, using a print made by local fine artist, Ryan Parker.

"If sustainability is not considered in the design of a product, we consider that to be a design flaw" - Designer, Nicole Haddad.

While Lobo Mau is a Zero Waste Company and Silver status partner with the City of Philadelphia, we are always testing new ways we can build upon our efforts. Shredding a percentage of our production remnants for use in home décor is a new initiative of ours and another way to reduce textile waste. We're excited to be making more strides towards closed-loop production.
