Felt the Future - walking with wool

Philipp Remus | Hochschule Pforzheim

Research is being conducted into the manufacture of shoes made from 100% wool according to circular design principles. The innovative aspect lies in combining traditional and digital manufacturing techniques with wool as a circular material: it is compostable, repairable and binds pollutants. Challenges such as water absorption are optimised through impregnation and material combinations. The prototypes demonstrate new design possibilities and provide impetus for ecological innovation in the footwear industry.
