Ozone; Cool things from recycled wings
Dismantling and working with Ozone wings it is fun, exciting and satisfying.
With this beautiful title: ''Cool things from recycled wings'' we've got today a news piece on their website.
''
The Spanish Company, Blauvent by Carmesine, has created a line of bags and accessories for paraglider pilots, made by paraglider pilots… and made from recycled Ozone paragliders!
We have just received a few examples of the line, and we have to say that they are some of the most unique and intriguing paragliding-related items that we have seen for quite some time. The attention to detail and the versatility of the products is impressive, and the designer has made very clever use of the wing color patterns.
All products are individually hand made with great care in Spain at Blauvent’s small scale production facility. Because each item in the recycled line is made from a different piece of each recycled wing, each product is unique. Order a handbag or a travel wallet, and you’ll own a piece of an Ozone prototype, probably a Delta :)
Check out Blauvent’s website, which shows not only the recycled wing line but also a variety of other products, from swimwear to wall art and even some furniture. www.blauvent.com
Cheers from all the Team

Manufacturing process of tissue for paragliding
''This story concerns the creation of fabric for paragliders. It is not new; it backs thousands of years, but throughout this time, man has been perfecting his manufacturing techniques. And modern-day fabric is not like that of yesterday. The purpose of the film is to introduce you to this modern technology that is at the origin of your paraglider.''
