Textile Design - Eco - Threads - Materials and Circularity Istituto Europeo Di Design (IED)

Overview

This approach fits into the vision of DesignXCommons, where design is regarded to integrate the commons and regenerate the planet.

Methodology

Using an interdisciplinary approach, this  Textile Design - Eco - Threads - Materials and Circularity programme from  Istituto Europeo Di Design (IED)  delves into the environmental and ethical impact of textile design along with the implications of new production and communication technologies, as a basis for building strategic projects and making a positive contribution to broader environmental and social ecosystems where fashion is situated. Experimenting with advanced technologies such as 3D printing and artificial intelligence, along with use of sustainable materials, manufacturing process optimisation and low-impact product innovation provides an opportunity to bring together circularity and innovation into textile design applications for fashion styling, interior design, product development and also furniture design.
