Clothing made of nettle textile, bathing suits streamlined like sharkskin and spinning silk as a super strong suture thread for surgeons. These are only a few of the items in the large collection of materials and applications. In this provoking exhibition, the public are introduced to the most recent materials developments in the field of industrial design: from the smallest synthetic diamond to meters-wide fibre-strengthened sailcloth.
Material Sense has invited guest curators to present their ideas on recent materials developments. The result is a dynamic exhibition in which great diversity in innovations is shown, supplemented with interviews and film footage.
