Fibre-Fixed.Composites in Design
, Design Museum Gent, Belgium
The exhibition Fibre-Fixed. Composites in Design presents an extensive selection of design projects with composite material and will feature the Elytra Filament Pavilion
The presentation shows a surprising overview of what is possible when fibres are combined with a (bio)plastic to form fibre-reinforced composite materials. Designing with composite materials takes place in the context of current challenges: global warming, ecological impact, sustainability, mobility, the ageing of population and digitisation. Curators Ignaas Verpoest (KU Leuven) and Lut Pil (LUCA School of Arts) focus on the developments of the past five years and present breakthroughs expected for the coming years.
