Catifa Carta won the HiP Awards for Environmental Impact during Fulton Market Design Days, a three-day event in Chicago which celebrates creativity and innovation.
HiP Awards (Honoring Industry People Product) honors each year companies and talents, who have distinguished themselves for the innovative approach of the collections presented.
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.
