One of the pieces from our collaboration with Nous Étudions is now at Museo Franz Mayer for the Moda Hoy! exhibition.

Curated by Ana Elena Mallet and Pilar Obeso, Moda Hoy! presents a critical look at contemporary design in Mexico and Latin America. The exhibition maps the current landscape of the industry through several pillars, including identity, craftsmanship, and technology.

Materializing Sustainability

Inside the Sustainability section, the textured Celium™ set stands as a response to the environmental challenges highlighted by the exhibition. Here, sustainability is not treated as a trend, but as a structural necessity.

By placing Celium™ in this context, the museum recognizes Premium Cultivated Cellulose as a viable solution for the industry's future. These pieces, a coat and hat from Romina Cardillo’s Fin del mundo, principio de todo, prove that grown materials are ready for high-end construction.

Regional Innovation

We are proud to see our work featured at the Franz Mayer. Partnering with Latin American pioneers like Nous Étudions allows us to showcase the technical precision emerging from our region.

This display is a milestone in our roadmap with Romina Cardillo. It reinforces our commitment to working with regional partners to define the global material landscape.

Regional collaboration and present-tense innovation

For Polybion, this recognition at the Franz Mayer is a validation of our regional impact. Partnering with Latin American pioneers like Nous Étudions allows us to showcase the technical precision emerging from our territory.

Our work with Romina Cardillo is a continuous development. While this showcase highlights a specific milestone, new applications and projects with Nous Étudions are already in motion for later this year. We remain focused on working with partners to define the global material landscape through cultivated textiles that are available today.
