GOZEN has introduced LUNAFORM, a pioneering biomaterial created from nanocellulose, utilizing microorganisms rather than conventional plastic-based materials. With their BioCraft technology, the team grows this unique textile in Turkey within a resource-efficient fermentation process lasting just seven days. Made entirely from bio-based ingredients, LUNAFORM offers notable tensile strength and flexibility. The material made its runway debut at Balenciaga’s Summer 2024 show, showcasing the stylish and environmentally conscious applications of this innovative textile. The collection comprises three lines, revealing both its functional and aesthetic qualities, while ensuring a sustainable production method.
Unlike the many synthetic alternatives that rely on a polyurethane base or materials requiring heavy processing, LUNAFORM™ is 100% bio-based in its wet state and shaped through the ingenuity of microorganisms, creating a totally unique nonwoven biomaterial.
This is key to its tensile strength and drape. We source a minimal amount of plant-based inputs from certified local suppliers in Turkey that are required for our controlled fermentation process.
