The exhibition Fibre-Fixed. Composites in Design presents an extensive selection of design projects with composite material. The presentation shows a surprising overview of what is possible when fibres are combined with a (bio)plastic, to form fibre-reinforced composite materials. Designing with composite materials takes place in the context of current challenges: global warming, ecological impact, sustainability, mobility, the ageing of population and digitisation.
