Background: Nevotex is Europe’s leading supplier of fabrics, leather, technical materials, and tools for the interior and furniture industry. With deep expertise in design, colour, and texture, Nevotex supports upholsterers, manufacturers, and designers across Europe from its production facility in Narva, Estonia.

Up-cycled up-holstery: MOE explored the potential of transforming Nevotex’s upholstery leftover material Wooly — recycled wool material — into outdoor garments. The study examined durability, flexibility, and weather resistance, testing how a furniture textile could evolve into functional wear. The aim was to bridge interior and exterior design, giving industrial surplus a new life as adaptable outerwear.
