Sisal
Sisal is a natural fibre extracted from the leaves of the Agave Sisalana, a succulent plant. Its leaves, growing over 1 meter in length, are known for their highly durable and strong fibre. Widespread in tropical and subtropical regions over the globe, it is believed the plant originally derives from Mexico.
Bamboo
As the fastest growing plant on earth, bamboo can grow up to 1.2 meters a day. We at nudo only use Moso Bamboo, a giant bamboo species native in China, which is considered a very effective CO2 absorber and a highly sustainable material.
Loofah
Loofah or Luffa is a tropical climbing plant, that belongs to the cucumber family. Our pad is made of the fibrous skeleton of the dried fruit. When put into warm water, its rough texture becomes soft and supple.
