Where are you looking for these new ideas and concepts?<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I follow the heartbeat of current and future matters and perspectives. I am inspired by people and products which question the quality and essence of life. This leads me to the roots of the design processes, to the inner core of the industry, research institutes and universities. Textile innovations can be found in all different kinds of areas from fashion to health care, automotive as well as many other sectors. The art of thinking outside and inside the box at the same time plays a central role to find new innovations.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image media=&#8221;59860&#8243; media_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em><strong>What do the showcased projects have in common?<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>There are two aspects which unite the Sustainable Innovations: poetry and purpose \u2013 and we most definitely need both! We need people who respond with poetry to inspire and open up new ideas and we need the hardcore problem solvers. With this edition we show several projects that provide concrete examples of what the successful interplay between poetry and problem solving can look like. Be it in 3D printing solutions or in human capital or in terms of circular solutions. Sustainable Innovations showcases great examples of what re-thinking and re-acting can lead to.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;4&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_single_image media=&#8221;59896&#8243; media_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243;][vc_single_image media=&#8221;59921&#8243; media_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;4&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_single_image media=&#8221;59880&#8243; media_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243;][vc_single_image media=&#8221;59908&#8243; media_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;4&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_single_image media=&#8221;59866&#8243; media_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243;][vc_single_image media=&#8221;59939&#8243; media_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><em>With regards to the exhibits, do you see any major trends?<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I see the need for and can almost hear a desperate cry for contact. People want to develop a deeper relationship with each other but also with products and materials. The overload of information and the limitless possibilities to connect brings us to the essence of connection: purpose. The designers question their activities, relationships, products, services and business models in order to establish connections that make sense. Connections which will enable and explore new ideas, materials and directions. The power to create a new kind of connection is the next innovation: meaningful people, purposeful like poetry.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image media=&#8221;55353&#8243; media_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; position_vertical=&#8221;middle&#8221; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em><strong>What can the industry learn from Sustainable Innovations?<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Perhaps it\u2019s not so much about learning something, but more about opening up and establishing a dialogue.
