Elise Gabriel - 'The Zelfo Embrace'










'designer elise gabriel has collaborated with the green factory, to design 'the zelfo embrace' a series of furniture pieces which are constructed using the material zelfo.

zelfo is an ecological material made from 100 % recycled materials such as old paper, textiles etc or
rapidly renewable materials such as hemp, miscanthus, bamboo etc., which is free of synthetic binders or adhesives - it contains no toxic componentns. essentially any raw material with a high cellulose content can be used to produce zelfo.

elise gabriel and the green factory received the VIA partnership project 2010 award for
'the zelfo embrace' which gives designers the opportunity to develop projects in tandem
with a manufacturer, using innovative technologies and/or materials. the initiative aims
at encouraging exchanges of know-how and skills with an eye to experimenting
new solutions for furnishing and interior decorating.
