Respiin

Respiin logo

ReSpiin is a homeware brand that has been created to showcase stylish recycled and renewable textiles. It has been exciting to see the developments in sustainable textiles over the last few years, and we felt it was time to bring together some of the most innovative materials under one brand. Each material we use has a story to tell - whether that is about the way it grows or the journey it has been on.

ReSpiin is also about working directly with pioneering producers who add the most value possible to the materials they have to work with. We have visited each of the producers and have seen first hand how they take pride in what they produce and in how they treat their workforce.

The ReSpiin storage baskets and bowls are made from jute or seagrass or a mix of both.

Jute plants are easy to grow, have a high yield per acre and, unlike cotton, have little need for pesticides and fertilisers. Jute grows during the rainy season in Bangladesh which is from June to October. The plants are ready to harvest in four to six months, after the flowers are shed.
The fibres lie beneath the bark around the woody core. To extract the fibre, the jute bundles are submersed in water and left for a few days until the fibres come loose and are ready for stripping from the stalk, then washed and dried. This is what our baskets are made from. The remaining jute stalks can be used in a similar way to wood pulp, or work well as a renewable source of cooking fuel.
Jute plants help to clean the air. During growth they take in three times more CO2 than the average tree, converting this CO2 into oxygen. Jute plants also enrich the soil. As these plants grow fast, they are often used in crop rotation. The leaves and roots left after harvest enrich the soil with micronutrients, maintaining soil fertility. Jute is 100% biodegradable.

Seagrass is a renewable, sustainable and biodegradable material. Seagrasses grow very quickly in shallow saltwater along coastlines and rivers. Once mature the grasses are cut by hand and dried in the sun, then hand twisted and woven. The dried seagrass is durable and moisture-resistant. It has natural colour variations which makes every basket unique.
Our supplier in Bangladesh is committed to providing regular employment in a working environment that is safe and hygienic. They pay a living wage to all employees. They have developed an innovative way of producing jute rope and stylish jute baskets which means that can produce a much higher return from the jute than when it is sold for basic jute sacks.
Our baskets and bowls use natural jute, natural seagrass and also coloured jute. This coloured jute is 100% Azo free.

Cleaning your house the 'Non-Toxic Way'

Many of the cleaning products available to the consumer from your local supermarket shelf contain toxic chemicals which are a cocktail of respiratory irritants, hormone disruptors and neurotoxins.

Heuristic Play Part II

In Heuristic play Part I we looked at the Treasure Basket and how babies interacted and explored objects, we learned that for babies the question involved in their play was 'What is it?'

Heuristic Play Part I - The Treasure Basket

Heuristic play was a term coined by child psychologist Elinor Goldschmeid. Heuristic play describes the activity of babies & children as they play with and explore the properties of 'objects'.
