- Thermaltech FabricThermalTech fabric is designed to capture the sun’s ultraviolet rays (as well as energy from artificial light sources) and transform them into heat to warm wearers up to an additional 18F in a matter of minutes. The stainless steel mesh fabric threads are strong yet lightweight, lending to extended lifetime use, while it's paper-thin design reduces the additional weight that heat-storing materials typically bring to outerwear.
- Luxury FabricThese luxury velvets of Verotex are named Venice, Genua and Incredible. They are shiny, supersoft and some have a subtle relief. The material is 100% PE, the width is 140 cm and available in various colours. Some are fire resistant according to BS 5852 source 0. The fabric can be used for upholstery, curtains and all other fabric applications.
- Triaxial Woven FabricTriaxial woven fabric is composed of three sets of yarns, which intersect and interlace with each other at 60 degree angles. It is woven with thermoplastic polyester.
- Sonic FabricSonic fabric is an upholstery comprised of recycled audio tape. Texas-based artist Alyce Santoro created an audio collage, and transferred it onto magnetic tape, which was then knitted together to form the fabric.
- Digital Fabrication And Metal Materials Shape Interactive Public InstallationsComputational design and digital fabrication are transforming how architects and designers work with materials. These technologies allow designers to create structures made from thousands…
- Smart Biobased Fabric Monitors Road Conditions in Real TimeResearchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Wood Research, Wilhelm-Klauditz-Institut (WKI) and their partners have created a biobased fabric that monitors asphalt roads in real…
- Multifunctional fabric to make urban heat islands more bearableResearchers at the University of Chicago in the US developed a wearable fabric that can cool down its wearers, but can also be applied…
- 3D knitted CC cubic acoustic fabricThis fabric is distinguished by its high dimensional stability and optimized sound absorbing qualities. Its geometrical and 3-dimensional structure defines the appearance of the fabric.
- Odour absorbing fabricOdegon fabric contains a unique nano-porous defence grade activated carbon which absorbs odours. It is used in footwear, bags, apparel and headwear and can be washed. It is not a finish but an actual fabric and so does not wash out unlike many other anti-odour products. Odegon is not an anti-microbial so therefore does not attack bacteria in the clothes, on the skin or in the environment.
- Fujifu wisteria fabricFujifu is carefully made through much time and effort, starting from cutting wisteria vines, removing the outer skin and spinning a yarn. Fujifu uses silk for warp and wisteria vine fibre for weft, based on sophisticated skills to manufacture obi by combining diverse yarns made of silk, gold coloured metallic fibre and washi (Japanese handmade paper).

Recycrom can be applied using exhaustion dyeing, dipping, spray, screen printing and coating.
- Non-Woven Basalt FabricThis needle-punching material is a non-woven basalt fabric made out of chopped basalt fiber (60-100 mm) bound by the needle-punching method and without the use of any binding agents. It can be used for manufacturing filters, composites, thermal-insulating and soundproofing materials. Needle-punching basalt is also highly suitable as fire protection material.
- Nickel / Copper Ripstop fabricShiny, smooth polyester ripstop fabric with pure Copper and Nickel coating. Light weight and flexible. Easy to cut and sew like ordinary fabric. Superior tarnish and corrosion resistance due to Nickel content. High conductivity and shielding performance. Not intended for direct contact with skin.
- Hand woven FabricStainless steel from Germany and black paper yarn wrapped with cellophane from Italy. Because of the steel warp you can create three dimensional fabrics for installations etc. or use the fabric plain for room dividers, panels etc.
- Spiral fabric without backingNylon fibers stitched into a spiral formation and overlapping layers create a lace-like fabric which explores elements of transparency.
- Circular Coated FabricsThe presented material is a replacement of the traditional fossil-based coating with poly(lactic acid), a biobased plastic that is chemically recyclable. The objective was to demonstrate, within one year, the technical feasibility of a PLA-coated film that can be converted after use into high-quality raw materials through an environmentally friendly recycling route (alcoholysis).
