Berlin-based design studio Blond & Bieber found that it’s actually pretty easy to make textile colors without heavy chemical use. All that’s needed is some algae.
But unlike light-stable dyes normally used on clothes, the algaemy colors change over time. A green might fade to a blue, for example.
The designers are calling it ‘living colors’. “We want to apply it as a quality to products—it would be interesting to add value through colors that are changing.”
Replace toxic textile coloring.
German designers Europe, created an “algaemy” color palette that they then printed on a series of cotton clothing items and leather shoes.
