Challenge Judges

Product: 16” x 16” pillow cover (Modern Futuristic Digital Prints) UpCycle Textiles in order to create Throw Pillow Covers. These pillow covers will also use digital printing (pigment base) which limits water and chemical waste by 60%. The benefits of digital printing are also 60% less production space required, 80% less thermal energy used, and 30% less electricity consumption. San Francisco and the East Bay urban areas are full of young architects, fashion designers, artists, interior designers, and like-minded creatives that for the most part agree with the sustainable movement. I believe that collaborating with all of these fields of design and art to create digital prints and design aspects to the pillow covers will create additional jobs for young designers and up and coming artists. Consumers can now begin sustainable practices through their home decor. (Source: http://www.improvesf
