Shelter - A solution for the Anthropocene

The project by Swiss bag brand Qwstion is about doing instead of proposing. Over the last 4 years they have developed and produced Bananatex®, a waterproof and durable material made from sustainably grown banana plant fibers. This new textile is fully biodegradable and has the potential to replace the technical plastic materials dominating the market for outdoor applications today. With their installation titled “Shelter“ the designers behind Qwstion demonstrate the potential of the new material.
