Six student design projects that experiment with materials
Dezeen School Shows: we've rounded up six projects presented on Dezeen School Shows that aim to innovate and upgrade material and textile design.
In response to the environmental issues caused by the fast-fashion industry, these design students have created fabrics and materials that intend to bring awareness to the problem and offer sustainable alternatives.
This roundup of projects includes textiles dyed with bacteria, materials made with biodegradable matter and fibre made of fabric-producing bacteria that aims to explore an alternative to cotton cultivation.
The selection of projects comes from fashion design, product design and interior design courses at international institutions including University of Arts Linz, Chelsea College of Arts, New Designers and Birmingham City University.
