Celium™ Blazer by GANNI Lab and Polybion at the "INVISIBLES. La vie cachée des microbes" Exhibition

Familiar to many, the iconic Celium™ Blazer from Polybion and GANNI Lab, will be showcased at the "INVISIBLES. La vie cachée des microbes" exhibition at Musée de la Main in Lausanne, Switzerland. The exhibition, running from June 27, 2024, to January 4, 2026, explores the crucial role of microorganisms in our environment and health.

The unique and forward-thinking Blazer, crafted from Celium™ Premium Cultivated Cellulose derived from bacterial processes, exemplifies the potential of sustainable fashion. This collaboration with GANNI Lab aligns with GANNI’s commitment to phasing out virgin leather in favor of more sustainable materials. Through our participation in this exhibition, we aim to demonstrate how cutting-edge scientific innovations and fashion can intersect to push the boundaries of eco-conscious apparel.

The exhibition itself provides an insightful look into the world of microbiomes, illustrating the indispensable yet often overlooked role these microorganisms play in maintaining ecological and biological balances. It's a unique opportunity for the public to gain a deeper understanding of these invisible life forms that are so vital to us and to our planet's health.

At Polybion, we harness the power of these microorganisms to cultivate Celium™ from agro-industrial fruit waste. This process not only showcases the innovative potential of microbiomes in creating sustainable fabrics but also highlights a significant step towards a future where fashion is both stylish, environmentally responsible and biology driven.

Explore a fascinating and little-known world: that of the microorganisms that surround us. Omnipresent yet invisible, microbes form communities essential to the functioning of all biological systems on our planet. From soils to oceans, from the air to plants, and even the human body, the exhibition invites you to discover this vast unknown realm that is sure to surprise you.

We look forward to welcoming you to the exhibition and exploring the future of sustainable fashion together.
