A new material technology, SOLAMENT™, is transforming the future of fashion.
This groundbreaking material absorbs near-infrared light from the sun and converts it into heat, adding an entirely new layer of functionality to clothing.
Projects utilizing SOLAMENT™ have led to the development of innovative, low-environmental-impact wear that takes a different approach from conventional insulation materials. For instance, the "DOWN-LESS DOWN JACKET" achieves remarkable warmth using only sunlight, without a single feather. Meanwhile, the "CROSS-DOOR JACKET" features an ultra-thin fabric that generates heat under sunlight, allowing seamless transitions between indoor and outdoor environments.
Currently, many world’s top sports brands have taken notice of SOLAMENT™, with some already moving forward with product development. Through this project, we are realizing our mission of "evolving fashion through the power of materials" and taking steps toward a more sustainable future.
Beyond fashion, this technology is being applied across various industries, including agriculture, construction, and automotive. For example, using SOLAMENT™ in greenhouses can increase crop yields by 150%, while integrating it into car window films significantly enhances energy efficiency.
