Color design research and developments with vegetable dyes.
Résumé
Young researchers in design are now working on new products using natural dyes. Moreover they study how colors made with plants can be used as effective materials. Sensory design and care design are innovative ways of design that think about new uses for human beings. Taking care, considering color materials as medicines or simply good for skin, unlike petrochemical dyes.
The author will show new developments made by young designers: natural dye process for leather, innovative vegetable leather and colors, development of color ranges made by local plants, archeology of colors for new patterns, extraction process for weak dyes...
The author will also introduce a new common program of research about "color & care", specifically questioning the color materials made with both medicinal and dye plants. From a corpus about symbolic and traditional ways of using colors (ancient practices and local know how), the idea is to prove the medicinal potential of some natural dyed samples, through collaboration with chemists, and to develop some new care and color materials made from plants.
