Founded by Krissy Harbert and Amanda Rawlings, PARTICLE is a Brooklyn-based furniture and homeware brand that recently launched its Homewares Capsule Collection at NYCxDESIGN Festival.
Made entirely of 100% recycled content derived from old sneakers, the Homewares Capsule Collection showcases the potential for post-consumer and post-industrial waste materials that would otherwise end up in landfills to be renewed.
“Our inspiration for our Homewares Capsule Collection stems from the color trends of past footwear collections,” explains Amanda. “Recognizing the potential in the industry’s waste as each season changes and new trends begin, we sought to transform it into a captivating assortment that aligns with our aesthetic vision for our homeware collection.”
“Our approach to design with our brand is centered around creating a sense of playfulness and lightheartedness that resonates with a broad audience,” says Krissy. “Whether someone is a design enthusiast, fashion aficionado, streetwear devotee, or simply looking to inject some fun into their lives, we aim to offer a product line that is relatable and approachable.”
“We recognize that life is messy, and in our efforts to reduce waste and repurposed materials, we want our customers to feel free to let loose and have fun with our designs without worrying about being too precious or delicate,” adds Krissy. “Our goal is to inspire creativity and spontaneity while simultaneously promoting sustainability and eco-consciousness.”
