S-Polarskin - Abundance of Light - IMPULSES OF SUSTAINABLE LIGHTING
Coach: Prof. Dr. Dipl.-Des. Marina-Elena Wachs
"Ab undance of Light" means "fullness of light" and thus implies differentiated, complementary material properties. Materials such as wool, paper yarn and recycled cellophane are used with sustainability in mind. These components are connected in a woven and knitted structure as a sandwich material. The individual parts of the surface visually interlock. The loosely knitted ab side gives the material a voluminous feel and provides air pockets. Lanolin makes it particularly water-repellent and dill, Sweden's national spice, gives it further multisensory properties.
The material can be returned to the natural cycle in a multifunctional and sustainability-oriented way. The design - and the designer - has the ambition of a holistic sustainable solution and will be further developed for the application in fashion as well as in automotive interior design.
