MID x Waag: Exploring new paths in the textile industry

Students of the Master Industrial Design (MID) at the KABK present an exhibition with work resulted from the Fabrics and Fabrications programme, a collaboration between MID and TextileLab Amsterdam Waag.

The students developed designs that deal with the well-being of people and the planet and they explored disruptive approaches, searching for alternative models for production processes and business strategies.

The evening with talks & exhibition on creative research, speculative design, sustainability and social innovation in the field of fashion, textiles and materials is hosted by Maaike Roozenburg head of the Master Industrial Design department at the KABK and takes place at Waag in Amsterdam.
