Common Goods is a sharing project that challenges conventional clothing consumption practices, advocating for innovative ownership models—offering jackets for rent rather than for sale.

At the heart of Common Goods lies the revival of Ticino blueprint, an old textile printing technique from Switzerland’s Italian-speaking region. This woodblock-printing and indigo-dyeing craft takes up to ten months to complete. Drawing inspiration from centuries-old designs, new textile patterns were developed, culminating in a limited series of eight jackets, bringing this traditional craft into a contemporary realm.

As wandering objects, the jackets are worn for two months before being sent directly to the next wearer. Each participant embroiders their name into the jacket label and records their experiences in a logbook, leaving a personal trace and story. Named after its core principle, Common Goods envisions a future that goes beyond traditional ownership and emphasises communal sharing.
