Rethinking Colours
Vienna Textile Lab, a startup specializing in microbial dyes and pigments, has been selected for the New European Bauhaus (NEB) innovative Catalyse program by the EIT Community. It aligns with Vienna Textile Lab’s mission of creating a positive impact through sustainability, social innovation, aesthetics, and the production of biobased, safe, and high-performance textile dyes and pigments.
From university researchers to museum curators, from small-scale artisans to therapists and archivists, the symposium showcased Austria’s vibrant textile community. One standout presentation was by Josef Koó, whose passionate discussion on Blaudruck left a lasting impression on everyone present. The traditional “Schurz,” a garment deeply ingrained in Austrian culture, was a poignant reminder of the country’s textile legacy.
