For the New European Bauhaus Festival 2026, IMASUS prepared a small set of printed materials to support its presence in the festival programme: a stand at the fair and the workshop Imagineering Sustainable Fashion. The materials make the project easy to understand in a public, fast-moving setting, translating it into visual formats that can be read at different speeds: a quick overview of the whole initiative, a focused explanation of The Loom framework, a map of the workshop challenges, a worksheet that guides participants through the activity, the slide deck that paces the workshop session, and a set of material postcards people can take away.
The posters introduce the project as a bridge between sustainable fashion research and practical design work. They show how IMASUS connects material knowledge, challenge framing, Imagineering-based facilitation, and digital documentation into a shared workflow for teams.
The worksheet is a hands-on counterpart to the posters. It walks participants through the four phases of The Loom — Appreciate, Breathe, Create, Develop — pairing a challenge from the deck with a System Frame, a Creative Tension Engine, and a single concrete next action. It is designed to be taken home and continued after the workshop.
The postcards focus on specific materials. Each one pairs a micrograph with a short description and a QR code linking to the corresponding material profile, turning technical material information into an accessible entry point for designers, educators, and festival visitors.

The items below link to the web versions of each piece. Posters were designed in A1 format, the worksheet in A4 landscape, the workshop presentation as a web slide deck, and postcards in A6 landscape with front and back views.
Project overview poster
A visual summary of the IMASUS project journey, from research and open resources to workshops and shared proposals.
The Loom poster
An introduction to The Loom, the IMASUS adaptation of Imagineering for complex sustainability challenges.
Challenge cards poster
A poster presenting material, design, system, and business challenges as workshop starting points.
Workshop worksheet
A double-sided handout used in the Imagineering Sustainable Fashion workshop. It walks participants through The Loom phases, a challenge from the deck, the System Frame, and a Creative Tension Engine, ending with one concrete next action.
Stand presentation
The self-running slide loop shown at the IMASUS stand. It cycles through the project, the Open Toolkit, materials, and ways to take part — built as a plain web page.
Workshop presentation
The slide deck used in the Imagineering Sustainable Fashion workshop. It introduces the Open Toolkit, walks through the shared challenge, and paces the worksheet activities with built-in timers.
Mushroom postcard
A material postcard for a vegan leather alternative grown from the Phellinus ellipsoideus fungus.
Algae postcard
A material postcard for MATTR, an algae-based material exploration.
Pineapple postcard
A material postcard showing pineapple leaf waste as a source for sustainable textile innovation.
Seaweed postcard
A material postcard for a seaweed-based fibre with comfort and skin-care properties.
Hemp postcard
A material postcard for a textile made with organic cotton and hemp.
Together, these pieces present IMASUS as a practical framework for learning, facilitation, and sustainable material exploration. They are intended to support conversations at the festival and to help visitors continue exploring the project after the event.
