C.L.A.S.S. discloses five key and influencing brands with unique outfits already available in the market, that demonstrate how smart materials are able to deliver eco hi-tech valuable innovations. 

Five, completely different, contemporary lifestyles!

Kosmos shines Gilberto Calzolari, a luxury prêt-à-porter brand Made in Italy with a responsible soul, whose style is represented by the demi-couture dress: fresh, glamorous and romantic. Precious fabrics, complemented by the highest quality in production techniques and tailoring craftsmanship, bear the hallmarks of a brand with a strong identity that is in tune with the needs of contemporary living and reclaims the values of environmental sustainability as well as elegance and excellence typical of luxury Made in Italy. Supported by the CNMI Fashion Trust due to its environmental committment and unique design, the brand chose two materials of the E.C.O. KOSMOS cross-collection for the SS 2020 presented during MFW: the E.C.O. AURORA 50% AMNI SOUL ECO® -50% Standard 100 by OEKO-TEX® certified Cotton canvas and the E.C.O. SONICA Newlife™ stretch satin.

Closed: the German brand, founded in1978, focuses on great designs, small details and pure quality to create understated and advanced denim looks totally handmade in Italy. Closed selected the new amazing Candiani ReLast line, the range of market fresh responsible denim products whose objective is to introduce a 100% transformed innovative solution. The partnership between ROICA™ and Candiani generated a very special ROICA™ yarn realized only for Candiani. A premium stretch yarn that is boasting a GRS (Global Recycled Standard) version 4 certification, thanks to its high percentage of recycled content and appropriated process of transformation.

My.Suit: Since My.Suit was founded in 2008 in NYC, their philosophy has been simple: provide their clients with a better way to buy a suit.  Their made-to-measure suits and tuxedos offer a better fit than traditional off-the-rack alternatives by accommodating as many different body types as possible, and can be made in a variety of fabric and style options to suit individual needs.  My.Suit utilizes a vertical business model: fabric mill, suit manufacturing, and retail locations, to provide a quick delivery time at an attractive price point. My.Suit has been using Bemberg™ lining to add style and comfort to their suit jackets for over a decade.  With a wide range of colors and designs, Bemberg lining complements their extensive fabric selection and helps us to create visually stunning suits that feel great and provides a personalized option to their clients.

Jim French was determined to build the Skeeta hull using an expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam core and the single shot closed mould epoxy lamination process pioneered by the windsurf board market, making COBRA International the perfect build partner for series production. Skeeta Foiling Craft first contacted COBRA back in early 2016, when the company started developing initial hull production materials and processes that could match their targets for lightweight, durable and cost-effective construction.

Vita Tertia Haus Limone: Mitmenschliche Pflege in heimeliger Atmosphäre

Offenburg - Der Umzug in ein Pflegeheim bedeutet einen großen Umbruch im Leben des älteren Menschen. Er verlässt nicht nur das gewohnte Zuhause, sondern begibt sich auch in die Betreuung durch andere. Ein ganzheitliches Pflege- und Einrichtungskonzept kann diesen Übergang erleichtern, wie das vollstationäre Pflegeheim Haus Limone von Vita Tertia in Offenburg beweist.

Offenburg - Der Umzug in ein Pflegeheim bedeutet einen großen Umbruch im Leben des älteren Menschen. Er verlässt nicht nur das gewohnte Zuhause, sondern begibt sich auch in die Betreuung durch andere. Ein ganzheitliches Pflege- und Einrichtungskonzept kann diesen Übergang erleichtern, wie das vollstationäre Pflegeheim Haus Limone von Vita Tertia in Offenburg beweist.

„Wir arbeiten hier als erstes Pflegeheim Deutschlands nach dem französischen Konzept der Humanitude, der zuwendungsorientierten Pflege“, erzählt Sandra Greiner, Leiterin des Haus Limone. Der von Yves Gineste und Rosette Mariscotti entwickelte Ansatz erfreut sich in Frankreich und französischsprachigen Ländern großer Beliebtheit, ist in Deutschland jedoch noch relativ unbekannt. Grundlage des Konzepts ist die Philosophie, dass der Mensch die Beziehung zu anderen Menschen braucht, um sich selbst als Mensch erfahren zu können. Entsprechend steht die Qualität der zwischenmenschlichen Beziehung im Vordergrund, ausgedrückt durch die Art mit jemandem zu sprechen, jemanden anzusehen und zu berühren. „Das bedeutet zum Beispiel, dass wir morgens mit vorsichtigen Berührungen wecken und dabei auch beachten, wie der Bewohner in der Nacht geschlafen hat“, erläutert die Heimleitung. Das Haus Limone hat sich zum Ziel gesetzt, auf die individuellen Bedürfnisse der Bewohner einzugehen, ihnen die Entscheidungsfreiheit zu lassen und eine alltagsbegleitende Betreuung anzubieten. Zudem sollen die Bewohner so viel und so lange wie möglich selbstständig bleiben. Dazu Sandra Greiner: „Statt den älteren Menschen zu bevormunden und ihm unnötig Aufgaben abzunehmen, geben wir ihm Zeit, die Dinge selbst zu tun. Dann dauert das Anziehen halt mal etwas länger.“

Als wichtigen Teil zwischenmenschlicher Beziehungen bietet das Haus Limone viele Möglichkeiten des Miteinanders an. So gibt es Gruppenräume und einen hellen Raum der Begegnung, der allen offen steht. Hier können die Bewohner mit ihrem Besuch zusammensitzen und ihren Geburts- oder auch Hochzeitstag feiern. Ergänzend gibt es ein breites Aktivitäten-Angebot. Besonders gut kommt das wöchentliche Bingo an und beim Besuch eines Musikers wird regelmäßig das Tanzbein geschwungen. Beliebt sind auch die altersübergreifenden Begegnungen mit dem Kindergarten des benachbarten Montessori-Zentrums. Im Rahmen dieser Kooperation kommt regelmäßig eine Gruppe Kinder im Haus Limone vorbei oder einige der Bewohner besuchen den Kindergarten. „Wir wollten eine Umgebung schaffen, in der Senioren eine neue Heimat finden können“, weiß Sandra Greiner.

Textilien schaffen farbenfrohes Wohlfühlambiente

Die Einrichtung des Hauses unterstützt den Pflegeansatz. Die Leitidee war, einen Ort mit familiärer Atmosphäre zu schaffen, an dem sich der ältere Mensch wohlfühlt. Um das Haus kleingliedriger zu gestalten, sind die 45 Einzelzimmer in drei Wohnbereiche mit je 15 Zimmern unterteilt: Arta, Deia und Inca, benannt nach drei kleinen Orten auf Mallorca. Ein jeweils in sich abgestimmtes Farbkonzept unterscheidet die einzelnen Bereiche. Auch Textilien wie Vorhänge und Bezugsstoffe tragen wesentlich zum Wohlbefinden bei. Die Entscheidung fiel auf Stoffe von drapilux. „Überzeugt hat uns die Strapazierfähigkeit sowie die Ausstattung der Textilien mit intelligenten Zusatzfunktionen“, schildert Sandra Greiner. Alle Artikel des Emsdettener Herstellers sind flammhemmend (drapilux flammstop) und können zusätzlich eine luftreinigende (drapilux air), antibakterielle (drapilux bioaktiv) oder akustische (drapilux akustik) Funktion haben.

Als Bezugsstoff für die Möbel wurden drei verschiedene Kolorits des Artikels drapilux 107 gewählt, passend zum jeweiligen Farbkonzept des Bereiches. Ausgestattet ist der Stoff mit der Zusatzfunktion drapilux air. Dank dieser werden schlechte Gerüche permanent abgebaut, sodass das Textil zu einer frischen Raumluft beiträgt. Auch die Vorhänge in den Arta-Zimmern sind mit dieser Funktion ausgestattet. Hier hängt drapilux 101, ein semitransparenter Faux-Uni in leuchtendem Pink vor den Fenstern. In den beiden anderen Bereichen kommt drapilux 102 zum Einsatz. Dabei handelt es sich um einen blickdichten Faux-Uni, der mit drapilux all in one ausgestattet ist. Diese Funktion kombiniert die luftreinigende Eigenschaft von drapilux air mit der antibakteriellen Wirkung von drapilux bioaktiv. Letztere bekämpft bis zu 99 Prozent der Bakterien auf dem Textil. Im Bereich Deia bringt der Stoff in frischem Grün Farbe in die Zimmer, während er in den Inca-Zimmern in freundlichem Gelb nicht nur für gute Luft, sondern auch gute Laune sorgt.
Die Reaktionen der Bewohner und Besucher zeigen, dass die Leitidee erfolgreich umgesetzt wurde. „Das Erste, was die meisten sagen, ist, dass es gar nicht aussähe wie in einem Pflegeheim, sondern viel mehr wie in einem Hotel“, freut sich Sandra Greiner. Auch das Gesamtkonzept überzeugt: Alle Plätze des im März 2018 eröffneten Hauses sind belegt, und es gibt Wartelisten.

Notus Composites celebrates a major manufacturing milestone

Notus Composites has achieved a major manufacturing milestone when the company’s one millionth m2 of fire retardant (FR) epoxy prepreg was shipped from its state-of-the-art facility in the UAE this month. Notus are supplying FR materials for several high profile infrastructure projects in the Middle East, with this latest batch of material being supplied for the new composite Museum of the Future in Dubai.

The one million m2 milestone was reached during a recent production run of Notus’ EPFR-609 glass fibre reinforced epoxy prepreg - a user friendly, long out life, FR prepreg designed for low pressure/vacuum curing at temperatures from 85-120˚C. EPFR-609 can also be supplied as a resin film or as Notus N1-Preg, the company’s versatile single sided prepreg product format. Having set up in 2015 but grown considerably in the past 4 years, Notus Composites has completed an extensive program of testing at well-known fire research laboratories in the Middle East and Europe with particular focus on large scale tests to verify material behavior as part of a complete wall or façade system.

  • Empowering fashion with responsible R&D, cutting edge finishing and a Made in Italy design imprint

Paris - “The soul of sustainable fashion is an alchemy, a combined commitment and an act of responsibility”. This is the motto ‘embossed’ in the collections and the values of Italian Converter. At Première Vision, the leading manufacturer celebrates its 25th anniversary and presents E.C.O. KOSMOS, a cross-collection, a brand-new ‘green line’ range’ and a winning formula shining a light on the company’s responsible path and unique ‘blend’ for the fashion of tomorrow.

  • Empowering fashion with responsible R&D, cutting edge finishing and a Made in Italy design imprint

Paris - “The soul of sustainable fashion is an alchemy, a combined commitment and an act of responsibility”. This is the motto ‘embossed’ in the collections and the values of Italian Converter. At Première Vision, the leading manufacturer celebrates its 25th anniversary and presents E.C.O. KOSMOS, a cross-collection, a brand-new ‘green line’ range’ and a winning formula shining a light on the company’s responsible path and unique ‘blend’ for the fashion of tomorrow.

The acronym E.C.O. stands for Ecologic, Conversion, Optimisation; three unique concepts and values that truly embody Italian Converter DNA: sustainability, transformative process and quality improvement.
For over 25 years, Italian Converter creates high-quality materials for some of the leading fashion and accessories brands. “Made in Italy and sustainability are part of our DNA.” Says Costantino Karazissis, founder of Italian Converter. “We believe that responsible sourcing and processes as well as a deep research into new technology pathways and a market-savvy taste for material design must be the starting point.”

At the core of the company’s responsible alchemy is also the constant research for the perfect balance of 100% Made in Italy materials. “We proudly collaborate with 120 skilled employees producing new hybrid material innovations daily, attracting partnerships from the best high-end brands both in Italy and abroad”.

Toupe and brick red E.C.O. Graffiti (100% linen) on E.C.O. Aurora (cotton and AMNI SOUL ECO®)

E.C.O. KOSMOS is entirely traceable, transparent, 100%made in Italy. The collection walks through a very complete and balanced range sustainable materials - from natural to eco high tech ones- that are transformed, enriched and valued in 9 high-tech cutting-edge innovations thanks to the Italian Converter expertise.
•    The natural line starts from bases of cotton bonded with AMNI SOUL ECO®, an enhanced polyamide 6.6 that degrades within 5 years instead of decades, as other conventional ones do.
•    The stretch innovations start from bases in GRS-certified Newlife™, a cutting-edge premium recycled polyester created using a High-Tech Conversion Model. Thanks to a mechanical process, used plastic bottles are turned into a top-quality polymer and yarn which is 100% traceable and 100% Made in Italy. The whole process takes place within a 100 square km area in Piedmont in Northern Italy.
 
All the references make use only of water-based resins and Standard 100 by OEKO-TEX® certified dying. The result, is resistant and transpiring solutions which come with bold and high-performing features, with a soft touch or even with a silky, yet strong, and enveloping feel. The designs range from rustic to contemporary and nod to jacquard, ‘authentic look’ and ‘drill’ hints. An ideal solution for footwear, apparel and leather goods.

Long story short? No compromises. E.C.O. Kosmos reflects design, innovation and responsible values, as well as 100% Italian Converter know-how.
 
“But this is just the beginning,” adds Karazissis. “The next step we are going to implement in the E.C.O. Kosmos cross-collection is a progressive integration of our triple-expertise, processes and R&D.” A sustainable step forward, a leap woven into a deep expertise a story to-be-continued. For a better future, this is for sure.

  • Erleben und Erforschen textiler Zukunftstechnologien zur vernetzten Fertigung und selbstoptimierenden Produktion

Industrie 4.0 – als globale Revolution, die keine Branche auslässt – ist geprägt von künstlicher Intelligenz, IoT, Robotik, 3D-Druck, Wearables, Nanotechnologie und fortschrittlichsten Materialien. Der Digitale Wandel geht auch nicht an Traditionsbranchen wie der Textilwirtschaft vorbei.

Industrie 4.0 – als globale Revolution, die keine Branche auslässt – ist geprägt von künstlicher Intelligenz, IoT, Robotik, 3D-Druck, Wearables, Nanotechnologie und fortschrittlichsten Materialien. Der Digitale Wandel geht auch nicht an Traditionsbranchen wie der Textilwirtschaft vorbei.

Vor allem im Bereich Automatisierung, Prozessoptimierung und Datenaustausch nimmt die Industrie 4.0 zunehmend Fahrt auf. Sie gestaltet und transformiert textile Bereiche und bringt neue Produkte und Dienstleistungen hervor wie etwa Sensorik in Textilien oder Augmented Reality im Produktionsumfeld.

Seit 2014 arbeiten die Akteure in futureTEX in einem interdisziplinären Kompetenznetzwerk aus Industrie- und Forschungspartnern. Damit unterstützt das Projekt den Wandel der traditionsreichen Textilbranche im Zeitalter der Digitalisierung zum zukunftsfähigen Industrieplayer – mit Technischen Textilien als Fundament. Alle Aktivitäten haben zum Ziel, die Position Deutschlands als Weltmarktführer im Textilmaschinenbau zu stärken sowie den Weg zu einer globalen Spitzenposition bei den Technischen Textilien bis 2025 weiter zu ebnen. futureTEX legt damit eine wichtige Grundlage für die Entwicklung der Branche zu einem der modernsten Wertschöpfungsnetzwerke zur Herstellung Technischer Textilien, Vliesstoffe und Composites.

Im Frühjahr 2016 wurde im Rahmen des Projektes der Aufbau einer Anschauungs- und Testumgebung initiiert. Im futureTEX Forschungs- und Versuchsfeld „Textilfabrik der Zukunft“ am Sächsischen Textilforschungsinstitut e.V. (STFI) zeigen zwei Demonstratorlinien die Herstellung Technischer Textilien vor dem Hintergrund der vernetzten Fertigung sowie der selbstoptimierenden Produktion anhand einer kontinuierlichen Vliesstoffproduktion. Lösungen für unterschiedliche textile Technologien, Automatisierungsgrade und Prozessstufen für die Textilbranche werden damit erlebbar und praxisnah dargestellt. Gleichzeitig dienen die Demonstratoren als Schnittstelle zwischen Wissenschaft und Industrie, um mittelständische Unternehmen für die technologischen und wirtschaftlichen Potenziale zu sensibilisieren.

Seit ihrer Inbetriebnahme wird die „Textilfabrik der Zukunft“ kontinuierlich weitergedacht. So wurde unter anderem an der Entwicklung und dem Einsatz von Industrierobotern gearbeitet. Diese ermöglichen Unternehmen unabhängig von der Unternehmensgröße Fertigungsprozesse flexibel zu gestalten und zu automatisieren.

Besonders die Handhabung biegeschlaffer Textilien stellte Robotersysteme in der Vergangenheit vor große Herausforderungen. Die stetige Weiterentwicklung von Schlüsseltechnologien ebnet nun den Weg für die Integration in ein textiles Umfeld. Durch den Einsatz von Nährobotern, die mit speziellen Sensorsystemen ausgestattet sind, werden zum Beispiel Verformungen des Textils oder Falten im Material erkannt und durch entsprechende Aktoren ausgeglichen. In der „Textilfabrik der Zukunft“ lässt sich ein Blick auf entsprechende Lösungen werfen, wie zum Beispiel zur robotergestützten Bandeinfassung, einem fahrerlosen Transportsystem, einem mobilen Roboter und einem Kamerasystem zur dreidimensionalen Raumüberwachung.

Interessierte Unternehmen können an den Demonstratorlinien die praxisnahe, branchenspezifische Umsetzung von Industrie 4.0-Konzepten erleben sowie damit experimentieren, um bestenfalls Lösungen auf ihre eigenen Prozesse zu übertragen. Gleichzeitig bietet sich die Möglichkeit, den klein- und mittelständischen Textilunternehmen schulungs- und trainingsbezogene Unterstützung bei der digitalen Transformation zu geben.
