Nominee | Textiles | 2007
ORGANIC TECH

«ORGANIC TECH» is a collection of weaves developed by Schoeller Textil AG which succeeds in bringing about a harmonious combination of apparent opposites. Established and traditional organic materials like wool, cotton and linen have been refined with the help of innovative treatment techniques. As a result they have acquired additional functions, like impermeability or moisture management, that were previously associated only with high-tech woven materials. The textiles manage to combine tradition and a sense of the primitive with modernity, and open up completely new aesthetic perspectives for the clothing industry.
Comments of the nominators
Schoeller’s expertise has transformed classic natural fibre weaves into high-tech happenings, offering Fashioners new and fascinating possibilities. The modernity of the materials is another impressive feature.
