“We missed the sun,but also desired the gentle, comforting glow of soft light.
We wanted to achieve this with a sustainable focus”
Remember the warmth of the sun.
It’s not just a feeling, it’s an experience.
It’s like coming home.
Light, in all its forms, welcomes us differently across the globe, shaped by geography and culture.
The Australian sun blazes with intensity, while Northern Europe basks in a gentler, cosier glow.
“Wool perfectly embodies the warm and comforting quality we were searching for. The fibres have a soft ecru colour, and the glow of the material is genuinely natural as a result.”
At the heart of Big Glow lies its pioneering use of Australian wool. Inherently luxurious, beautifully soft and enduringly relevant. Through intensive research and development and utilising technical knowledge from Woolmark, Rakumba has harnessed a material that combines non-woven wool with plant-derived compostable fibre formulated as bioplastic. This innovative blend combines a sense of luxury, sound absorption, and beautiful light diffusion.
The entire production process of the wool, from wool-growing to final assembly, occurs within Victoria, Australia. This commitment to local production supports Australian industry, provides traceability and reduces the resource footprint of each piece.
The environmental credentials of wool – a natural, renewable, biodegradable and recyclable fibre - combined with natural bioplastic results in a certified compostable material made from renewable resources.
Creating lasting beauty without lasting waste.
