Wool

From Waste to Art: The Wool Crisis

In Spain, and especially in Catalonia, sheep wool faces a harsh reality: from being an essential resource in rural areas, it has become a discarded waste.

The drop in prices and lack of demand have forced shepherds to dispose of this noble material, wasting its immense potential.

At Nanbu Studio, we see this crisis as an opportunity to bring new life to a resource that connects history, nature, and sustainability. We work directly with local shepherds to revalue wool, giving it an artistic and sustainable purpose that supports rural communities.

Our rugs and tapestries not only minimize environmental impact, but also honor the work and dedication of the shepherds

We transform waste into art.
