Best products from Scandinavia
The best products from Scandinavia, presented in our Trend Forum, are the start of the material storytelling in 2024. Whether from Sweden, Denmark, Finland or Norway, most of the Scandinavian companies are traditional, long-established and have always paid attention to sustainable design and production. Products are characterised by innovation, high and durable quality, flattering look and feel, and vertically integrated in-house or nearby production. Sustainability and social responsibility are naturally respected throughout the supply chain.
Thygesen & Birk Fabrics from Denmark has shown innovative knit Midlayer materials in wool blends.
FOV Fabrics AB from Sweden showcased 2 materials, one for Shirts and one for Safety, Health and Durability with Q-Cycle = postconsumer recycled PA 6.6.
Ten Textiles from Finland with production in Lithuania created innovative Polyester rib for Safety, Health and Durability in high-vis or as water repellent version.
Rudholm & Haak AB from Sweden offered many flattering and innovative solutions concerning all kinds of accessories. In this story they are represented with Color Add, a new system where also color blind people can learn to make aesthetic color choices, or Prisma NFC Label, a 100% recycled Polyester label with an integrated NFC chip.
ACG Accent AB from Sweden created a recycled hangtag with an NFC chip as well as a badge from cellulose fibres and PLA, so the attributes are vegetable, recyclable, and biodegradable, without any synthetic/plastic component.
