ISPO Award for TEEMPO Shirt
A collaboration between CLIMATEX Impetus, Ocean Safe & Colorifix.
Winner of the ISPO TEXTRENDS Award "BEST PRODUCT F/W 2026/27"
"Teempo" is the result of a visionary partnership between the Portuguese Impetus Group, OceanSafe, Colorifix and CLIMATEX, who have brought together biotechnology, circular design and sustainable processes to create a truly innovative product.
The shirt designed by the Impetus Group is made from OceanSafe's biodegradable and circular "naNea" fabric. It was dyed using Colorifix's revolutionary, microbe-based dyeing process, which does not require any conventional chemicals.
CLIMATEX seams can be disassembled at the end of their life thanks to the circular, dissolvable STITCHLOCK sewing thread to ensure recyclability.
FLEXHAB: Circularity in space.
CLIMATEX on a mission to the moon.
A collaboration between CLIMATEX and SAGA Space Architects.
Moon simulator, space environment, the world's best astronauts – and right in the middle of it all: CLIMATEX textiles! Circular materials play a crucial role in the ultra-modern space habitat "FLEXHab", designed and built by SAGA Space Architects. We are proud to have made a small contribution to this pioneering project!
"FLEXHab" has been at the European Space Agency (ESA) in Cologne since the beginning of April 2025.
"The materials astronauts come into contact with on a daily basis are of the utmost importance. Quality and sustainability are key. And CLIMATEX offers exactly what we need: durable, aesthetically pleasing and recyclable textiles," says Sebastian Aristotelis, Co-Founder and Lead Architect of SAGA, explaining the importance of our fabrics in the interior design of the space habitat. "Sustainability and above all recyclability are essential on the Moon, where resources are even more limited than on Earth," he continues. In addition, the materials used must not release any harmful emissions or aerosols into the air, as it is already circulating in a closed cycle in training mode.
Textile surfaces are crucial to the comfort and functionality of the interior. They are used on walls, seats and other touch points. Not only do they need to be natural and durable, but they also need to withstand extreme conditions and heavy use. Sebastian Aristotelis explains that the aesthetic requirements for the variety of colours and textures of the textiles are based on the cognitive stimulation of the astronauts, which needs to be supported.
FAIRcraft Aircraft Seat: Take Off With CLIMATEX
In a pioneering project, CLIMATEX is setting standards with sustainable textiles for innovative aircraft seats that rely on circularity.
Every gram counts in the air. More weight means more fuel, higher costs and more emissions. No wonder the innovative and completely redesigned "FairCraft" aircraft seats, with a weight saving of two to three kilograms per seat, created such a stir at their launch. Unveiled at the Aircraft Interiors Expo AIX in Hamburg this spring, the suspended seat design was developed by the BFGF Design Studios under the direction of creative mastermind Sebastian Mends-Cole. CLIMATEX supplied the two circular fabrics VIVO and BALANI.
"We are proud to be part of such a pioneering concept for the aviation industry," says Fredy Baumeler, CTO of CLIMATEX, who not only accompanied the project but also witnessed the reactions of visitors to the stand at the Hamburg show. "It is amazing to see the possibilities that open up when you rethink the way aircraft are equipped," Fredy continues.
Re:Circled - From Offcut to Outcome
An interdisciplinary team, a shared vision: the Circular Lab project, funded by the European Union, the Swiss Confederation and Interreg, brings together research, industry and innovation to radically rethink manufacturing processes in the furniture industry.
Together with the Albstadt-Sigmaringen University, the German furniture manufacturer Interstuhl, the Swiss innovation company RethinkResource and HSG Master's student Jan Winiger, CLIMATEX is presenting Re:Circled: a forward-looking showcase demonstrating new paths for a sustainable circular economy in the textile industry.
The focus is on the vision of no longer viewing textile production waste, or 'offcuts', as waste, but rather as a valuable resource for new materials. In collaboration with key partners, CLIMATEX is developing a circular model to provide tangible momentum for the transformation of a linear industry into a circular one.
As part of the Circular Lab, an interdisciplinary innovation hub in the Lake Constance region, the project is supported by the four-country region's scientific network with funding from Interreg, the European Union and the Swiss Confederation. The Circular Lab promotes circular innovations in textiles, agriculture and food.
