Grown in the abundance of the fertile land of Northern France, the flax used by Orta is a testament to superior quality. Each stalk, harvested after maturing in the open field, is meticulously processed to extract the precious fibers that will later be carefully spun.

In order to show you the whole process in pictures, our video journey first took us to Austria to a beautiful village with the same name as its factory: Lenzing. Here, no apocalyptic industrial zone but a magnificent and transparent lake where the water is drinkable (the Attersee lake), and forests as far as the eye can see that are full of life. In short, a fauna and flora worthy of the best seaside resorts. For two days, we followed the transformation of wood into fibre, from the felling of the tree to the fibre bale.
