About
The Fashion & Textile Living Lab at Politecnico di Milano (Department of Design) supports companies, brands, retailers and public actors in developing circular solutions for fashion and textiles, from early concept to real-life experimentation.
What we offer:
• Co-design workshops with users, citizens, designers, artisans and company teams.
• Prototyping and real-life testing of circular services, e.g. care, repair, redistribution and take-back.
• Design of product–service systems and sustainable retail strategies, supported by Su.Re., our Sustainable Retail Toolkit & Digital Hub (https://sure.retailexperiencelab.com/).
• Experimentation and public engagement in our permanent Lab space in Milan, which works as a public demonstrator, competence centre and co-creation hub.
Su.Re. has already been tested with a global fashion brand through a year-long co-design process with an inter-functional company team, and was then adopted by the brand.
