MATERIALS COME FIRST

readymade is a material research practice activating archival textiles, leather, yarns and industrial leftovers through curation, education, publishing and public programming.

WHAT WE DO

MATERIALS We curate existing textiles, leather and yarns from leading Italian manufacturers.

MANUFACTURERS We work with producers to activate archives, remnants and end-of-series materials through research, visibility and designer engagement.

EDUCATION We collaborate with universities, schools and cultural institutions to rethink how materials are understood, sourced and taught.
