The “UV-Dress”, the “Climate dress” and the “Solar Bag” played a central role while
princess Mary´s actively participated in a exhibition about Climate, environment and
health issues. Our work with Smart textiles triggered curiosity at the Opera in Holmen, Copenhagen.
Is it heavy ? Warm? How does it work with the closing and opening of those soft apertures ?
Many questions, while Princess Mary visited the stand where Diffus presented their latest projects on environmental issues
realised together with project partners “Alexandra Institute”.

In fact, the UV-project had its mediatic debuts the day before, during the evening talk show on DR1, the Danish main TV Channel.

The Exhibition “Health Environment Climate” will take place the 25th of April 2012 from 2pm to 5pm at the Royal Danish Opera. Crown Princess Mary of Denmark will open the exhibition. For this event, Diffus was invited to create an artistic statement on contemporaneous environmental and climatic concerns. We teamed up with knowledge center Alexandra Institute to realize the “UV-Dress”, a dress made with a pattern of soft apertures located over all the summer dress and reacting organically to the amount of UV by gently opening up or closing down the orifices which expose the skinto the sun. This reactive UV-dress will be presented during the limited time of the exhibition.
Local medias speculate if her Highness will bewearing the dress…Stay tuned !

Now available:
“Vitamin Green” by Phaidon-Press, with a highlight on the work by Diffus on sustainable Design and innovative technologies.
“The definitive book on contemporary sustainable design and architecture from around the world”.

Vitamin Green provides an up-to-the-minute look at the single most important topic in contemporary design: sustainability. This new attention to the life of the things we make is changing the way design is practiced on every level and will be at the center of discussions about architecture, landscape architecture, and product design in the twenty-first century. Projects nominated by an international collection of designers, curators, critics and thinkers were selected to create the best possible sourcebook of the most exciting and original green designs at all scales, from eyeglasses to landscapes and from motorcycles to skyscrapers. The result is an inspirational survey of the enormous amount of innovative work being done in this field, as well as a directory of products, ideas and techniques for both designers and consumers. Filled with projects that are built and in production, Vitamin Green provides a lively and inspiring visual definition of the term ‘sustainable design’, showing people what really can be achieved today.
