T×a×n×g×r×a×m by Renate Zeller Seeks to Reduce Fashion Waste
This innovative zero-waste cutting pattern may be a game-changer for independent designers and, perhaps, even bigger brands. Many are aware of the waste pandemic in the fashion industry, which is still ongoing, despite the efforts of many to curb it. Emerging designer Renate Zeller, a student at the Lucerne School of Art and Design, has proposed an innovative zero-waste cutting pattern called T×a×n×g×r×a×m. Eighteen geometrical pattern pieces are nestled with one another to form a rectangle. The name of the project hints that it is a puzzle-inspired design. Tangram is a dissection puzzle that consists of seven flat polygons (called tans) which are combined to form different shapes. The goal of Renate Zeller's zero-waste cutting pattern is to produce clothes and accessories without lingering scraps.
