INNOVATION PROJECT
ARTILESHELL
WHAT IS IT?
A project that introduces the use of a difficult-to-use local resource as a natural insulator of great thermal properties in technical garments for winter.
WHAT IS THE PROBLEM?
There are one million latxa sheep in the Basque Country. They are a symbol of the region and guardians of the landscape. However, their wool is a problem. It has no commercial use, and cannot be thrown away.
HOW DO WE DO IT?
In the ARTILE JKT (FW 2020), TERNUA has succeeded in bringing together an age-old tradition of the Basque Country – the wool from the latxa sheep – and the latest technology in recycled materials.
This fusion, together with an elegant and functional design, makes this jacket a unique and highly valued product in the market that will provide you with good insulation, warmth, protection from the wind and water repellency during winter.
High performance and features based on an environmentally friendly approach.
FABRIC
El relleno interior, bautizado como ARTILESHELL, y encargado de aportarnos el aislamiento y mantener el calor corporal, está compuesto por lana pura de Latxa,
totalmente natural, sostenible y biodegradable. Un producto tan simple y puro, como sofisticado y tecnológico.
- Gestiona y controla la humedad.
- Absorbe la transpiración interior y repele la humedad del exterior, consiguiendo un confort y prestaciones excepcionales en condiciones climatológicas adversas.
- La rápida expulsión de la humedad de la lana evita la aparición de malos olores y bacterias.
- Termorregulador: mantiene la temperatura corporal.
The protection against the elements is provided by a light, soft and comfortable outer fabric made of post-consumer recycled polyester and a WINDSHELL membrane made from corn sugar biomass, reducing the use of materials such as petroleum.
- Completely windproof.
- Breathable.
- PFC-free water-repellent treatment (DWR).
- BLUESIGN® certified fabric.
PROJECT OUTCOME
El resultado del proyecto es un tejido novedoso basado en un aislante natural de excelentes cualidades. Este aislante es utilizado en una prenda icono que lleva el nombre del proyecto y que estará disponible en tiendas en la colección Otoño-Invierno 2020-2021.
