Cikis Studio Interview - The T.Silk Re#Value Project
What makes the T.Silk recycled padding and stuffing project so innovative and interesting? Talking about silk is always engaging and opens up very different perspectives and interests. Applying silk to the padding field (T.Silk project) manages to unite different important elements:
- Innovation;
- Performance;
- Sustainability;
- Environment.
Applying silk fibres from pre-consumer products to obtain recycled silk padding opens up considerations that necessarily involve the concept of recycling in textiles and we at Cosetex and T.Silk do not like the word recycling associated with silk.

T.Silk recycled padding = Value Goal = Re#Value Padding
Valorize to give a new value, design the recycling of silk fibers for recycled padding as a value opportunity and not as a solution to a problem. Design a recycled padding for products with the vision of ecodesign to create products in recycled fibers that can be easily recycled in the future. Silk is not a polyester fiber or a viscose much less a mineral fiber or an unclarified bio-based fiber

Silk fibers have a unique value even when derived from by-products or reused fibers that must not be dispersed by combining silk with synthetic, artificial recycled fibers, mineral resins, biobased fibers only to obtain a product with the “RECYCLE” brand. The result is a mix that can no longer be reused in the future.
The value of the T.Silk project
During the interview with Cikis studio, this attention to the history and motivations of the T.Silk project emerged:
- The green and technological heart of our products: The 100% T.Silk silk padding
- The vision and planning of eco-design and Made to Order applied to padding and our exclusive products for the bed system. Reuse now for future reuse
- The transition from a resolution of a possible problem (pollution and waste) to the value of an opportunity
- The high level of performance, the warmth, the breathability, the contact with nature and the respect for the environment
