During MoOD & Indigo Brussels 2016 (6-8 September), Materia will present the “Smart textiles” exhibition which will be focusing on textiles for architecture and interior, fashion, mobility, sports and healthcare.
The versatility of textiles is undeniable – whether it is used in interior design, the automotive industry, furniture, architecture, design or fashion. Irrespective of whether it is woven, non-woven or knitted by robots; textiles are an excellent multi-functional medium Strong and lightweight, flexible, transportable, self-cleaning, antibacterial, odour purifying, or regulating daylight with sensors that react to UV radiation or temperature; the development of textiles is growing in every sector.
Fabrics are also being produced from new material sources such as agricultural left overs, cork or wood. And not forgetting e-textiles that give light, sound and other displays to increase protection, communication or comfort. Many of these latest textiles will be shown at Tour & Taxis during MoOD & Indigo Brussels.
This exhibition will not only demonstrate the enormous capabilities of these materials, but also the opportunities smart textiles offer to positively impact our lives and interior industry.
