The Cellulose Forum: Curated Cellulose Fabrics
Munich October 2026
Cellulose is moving into more technical midlayer applications. New combinations of cotton, Modal, lyocell and other fibers show how natural and man-made cellulosics can be engineered to balance thermoregulation, moisture management, comfort and stretch. Hybrid blends and structured constructions are expanding the possibilities for cellulose beyond traditional applications.
Woven cellulosic materials demonstrate how fiber choice and fabric construction can work together to create new performance possibilities. Cotton, lyocell and other cellulose-based fibers are being explored through new blends, constructions and finishes, combining natural comfort with structure and functionality for an increasingly diverse range of applications.
Cellulose is entering territory traditionally dominated by synthetic fibers. New functional shell constructions demonstrate how cotton and other cellulosic materials can move beyond next-to-skin applications into technical outer layers. Innovative constructions and material combinations are opening up new possibilities for natural-fiber performance, protection and comfort.
Cellulosic fibers are becoming part of a broader approach to thermal comfort. Hybrid constructions combine cellulose with other natural and performance fibers to balance warmth, breathability, moisture management and comfort. Fiber selection and fabric architecture work together to create lightweight, functional solutions for changing activity levels and conditions.
