Textile Futures
Research in textile futures interrogates textile futures by uniting traditional craft skills and knowledge with cutting edge technologies. TFRC is engaged in a clearly focused range of textile related research that explores the question “How can more sustainable futures be enabled by textiles?” TFRC’s approach to sustainable design is pursued through strategy, science and technology, and society & wellbeing. TFRC is interested in how textile design can facilitate social change, often through using digital and social networking tools. Textiles as a subject leads to diverse interfaces with many other design fields, and this is well reflected in our members projects and outputs, covering design applications such as fashion, interior textiles, new materials, future design probes, design for future energy, food design, as well as critical texts.
