Printing
Digital printing on fabric is an environmental friendly way of printing textiles and wallpapers. It is largely a waterless technology, as well as the ink is not disposed into the water.
Materials
All our wallpapers are digitally printed in Sweden using sustainable ink, and printed on sustainable FSC approved Non-Woven materials with recycled PET fibres.
Our fabric is printed in England and created from natural fibres as flax and cotton, which are natural, biodegradable fibres. Most of our designs are printed on a linenblend cloth. The flax plant used in linen can be grown in poor soil and is, using a lot less water in its consumption making it a lot more sustainable. All the cloths we use are certification by OEKO-TEX.
Upcycling
We work intelligently with our left over fabrics and allow for zero wastage. Due to the high and long lasting quality of our materials they are perfect for upcycling purposes. Even our damaged fabrics and products can easily be reused and transformed into brand new shapes. We encourage our customers to get creative with left overs.
Design
All the patterns in Gyri Design are sustainable in the sense that they are all inspired and referencing old Norwegian traditional decorative prints and cultural heritage patterns. The aim is to preserve its artistic traditions by presenting them in a modern light.
