Biosmocking is a textile modeling technique that can be used to create threedimensional textures. This technique uses digital fabrication to control the supercontraction properties of Brewed Protein textiles.
Brewed Protein textiles are made from plant-based ingredients through a fermentation process and can be molded in incredibly diverse ways using Biosmocking technology. By testing various prototypes and manufacturing techniques, the production process has been improved to such an extent that sustainable garments with a unique sense of depth, volume and style can now be produced.
Circular Creativity
To show how the industry can work more sustainably to curb climate change, innovative ideas such as those of Japanese fashion designer Yuima Nakazato were presented in the Transformation Lounge at the Ars Electronica Festival 2023. With his clothing, Yuima Nakazato creates a balance between craftsmanship and technology and develops approaches that could reduce the fashion industry’s environmental impact.
