Climafibre
完全由向日葵制成的模块化材料
想象一下，一件完全由向日葵制成的雨衣。Climafibre利用向日葵为时尚界开发纺织品、染料和一种疏水涂层，支持再生食物系统，保护生物多样性，帮助缓解气候。利用酶，Climafibre是第一个开发出从向日葵茎中分离出纤维素纤维的独特工艺，然后将其纺成纱线。疏水涂层由葵花籽油工业的副产品制成，为天然纤维提供保护。颜料从植物的各个部分提取，并作为天然染料使用。

Material Futures is where science, technology and design collide.
We invite practitioners from all fields of the creative industries to create alternative narratives to what will become the defining issues of our times. United in our belief that our planet is at breaking point and our current methods of managing and dealing with these systems are ineffective and outdated, we encourage our students to look beyond existing disciplines to anticipate our future needs, desires and challenges for the 21st century.
