From the music studio to the shoe studio.
During a recording session next door at @schenkstudio , legend @barryhayhay discovered our handmade artisanal shoes.

Shoe designer Peterson Stoop (@petersonstoop ), researcher Mariana Pereira Silva (@maryjournal ) and producer Amador address circularity and post-growth economy through Project Perpetual Patchwork, a living installation made from recycled sneakers 👟
Selected for support through our Design Sector Internationalisation Grant Scheme, the collaboration will result in a large tapestry from used sneakers that continuously transforms. The work operates as a perpetual cycle: shoes and wall panels are cut from the tapestry, while resulting holes are refilled with new material. Alongside the installation, Mariana Pereira Silva develops a digital archive of recycled materials, a toolkit for collective creation, and a manifesto rooted in post-growth economy theory 🌱
Through public programmes and workshops in Amsterdam and Tokyo, the project raises awareness about waste and shapes collective responsibility ♻️
The Design Sector Internationalisation Grant Scheme opens again 16 February at 15:00 CET ⏰
