What is often lacking for new textile talents are the time and facilities to cultivate their creativity. The TextielLab is a crucial gateway to specialist skills and technology, enabling students and graduates to gain hands-on experience and further their careers. Meanwhile, fabric developed at the TextielLab is appearing in high-profile projects worldwide, from the Persian Gulf to the Parisian catwalk. This yearbook offers an overview of the special projects, young talent, and dazzling collaborations that have taken place there over the past year. Among these are Rafaël Rozendaal, Aleksandra Gaca for Iris van Herpen, Hella Jongerius, TheGreenEyl, Lisa Oppenheim, and more.
