Arakuaa

Arakuaa is a machine that allows generating textile fibers based on plastic bottles, it is inspired by the Guarani Isoseña culture, an ethnic group from Santa Cruz de la Sierra Bolivia. With these fibers we try to apply ancestral techniques to generate fashion. Working with this new way of recycling plastic bottles will open a world of possibilities in their possible applications in fashion.

The best thing is that we do not need industrial solutions to be able to produce it from the community of your workshop or your Fab Lab since the design and assembly was designed to be Open Source and easy to assemble anywhere in the world.

We use ancient techniques to solve current problems. Join me on this adventure.
