Sustentable Green Design Festival Buenos Aires Photos

Yesterday it was the end of the first edition of Sustentable, a festival entirely dedicated to green design that took place in Buenos Aires from November 28 to December 2.

Besides yesterday's introduction of Diseno Cartonero, there were plenty of interesting sustainable products, including accessories, clothing and toys. Find them in the extended!

Green Design at Buenos Aires 'Sustentable' Festival

Although many of the festival's designers have already been featured in TreeHugger, there were some interesting new products too.

The first we'd like to highlight were Juana de Arco's Nido project. We had told you about this clothing brand before when they introduced a line with organic cotton at the spring Buenos Aires fashion week, but they were present at the festival with garments and accessories produced by unemployed people in a suburban neighborhood in the south of greater Buenos Aires.

These products are also produced with the brand's own discarded materials and some with a Brazilian technique called 'knot tying'. Even though the look is not so new, the social part of the project is really cool.
