Catifa Carta won the prestigious #MetropolisLikes during Fulton Market Design Days, a three-day event in Chicago which celebrates creativity and innovation.
#MetropolisLikes award, promoted by the Metropolis magazine, celebrates the best collections and the most innovative trends exhibited during Design Days, selected by a panel of experienced Metropolis editors across hundreds of submissions from around the world.
Catifa Carta stood out for its highly innovative and sustainable content. Its shell is crafted entirely from PaperShell, a groundbreaking material derived from paper. A first of its kind innovation, PaperShell dramatically reduces Catifa Carta’s impact on the environment by doing what trees do: sequestering carbon dioxide. At the end of its life cycle, the material can be reduced to biochar, successfully retaining the CO2 sequestered during the previous life phases.
