Material BioSequin
Prenda espumosa de origen vegetal BioSequin
Radiant Matter ha desarrollado un nuevo material estructuralmente coloreado y brillante, similar a las plumas de pavo real y los escarabajos joya. Se trata de una innovación no tóxica, biodegradable y baja en carbono, que elimina la necesidad de plásticos, metales, minerales o pigmentos. Con este material creamos la primera BioSequin™ del mundo, una alternativa brillante y sostenible a las lentejuelas de plástico. Nuestras lentejuelas ayudan a los clientes B2B de la industria textil a reducir el impacto ambiental de sus productos. En colaboración con Stella McCartney, hemos creado el primer concepto de prenda BioSequin brillante.

Elissa Brunato
Elissa Brunato previously worked in Embroidery Design/Production for Ready-to-Wear and Haute Couture Houses. Here she witnessed the global and environmental implications of distantly-made design and aesthetic choices. While overseeing production sites and artisanal workshops in India, China and Italy, she saw the vast amounts of unnecessary waste at multiple stages of manufacture, damaging the environment and exposing workers to hazardous materials. Realising that the industry had no sustainable options for embellishment components and surface coatings, Elissa founded Radiant Matter.
