Sustainability
Heimtextil 2025's new directions for textiles, sustainability and colour, from natural dyes to immersive installations.
Material innovation from Dutch Design Week, from bio-based materials and foraged fibres to digital distortion and the beauty of decay.
Eco-anxiety, regenerative materials and digital futures, from climate-conscious craft to AI creativity and body augmentation.
At Heimtextil, home and contract textile brands navigated a diverse landscape of regenerative design, bold florals and multiple colour palettes.
Dedicated to material innovation, London’s Surface Design Show was a welcome chance to catch up on the latest directions in this sector.
In addressing the issues with extractive and polluting processes, material designers are looking to the patterns and principles of nature. Diversification in the sourcing and processing of raw materials is core to this bio-based revamp.
