exploratory analysis to prototypes and upcoming market introductions.
The theme this 12 months is “Utilized Design Analysis as a Catalyst of Change”. Design professorships from Dutch universities of utilized sciences present their most revolutionary analysis initiatives right here.
Be amazed by the newest bio-based merchandise: from textile dyed with micro organism to façade cladding that imitates a polar bear.

THE FUTURE OF LIVING MATERIALS
In a number of subprojects of The Way forward for Dwelling Supplies,
designers study the probabilities of residing supplies that contribute
to a sustainable and round trend business in collaboration with
ArtEZ Future Makers and Wageningen College & Analysis.
We are going to present our biodesign analysis undertaking Dwelling Color right here. In
this undertaking we examine a brand new and pure approach to dye textiles with
micro organism that produce pigment. We wish to supply a sustainable different to poisonous artificial textile dyes constituted of petrochemicals. Air pollution from trend manufacturing and specifically the textile dyeing course of is a giant drawback. The colouring, bleaching and therapy of textiles causes 20 % of all freshwater air pollution on this planet.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS OF LIVING COLOUR
After the fabric analysis we displayed at State of Style, we’ve labored with different designers and corporations which have developed
their very own sustainable revolutionary materials to check whether or not our dyeing
course of is appropriate for dyeing these supplies. We dyed mycelium MycoTex by NEFFA, Pyratex Well being material by Pyrates Good Materials, plant root textile by Diana Scherer and felt from non-industrial wool by Beatrice Waanders.
