Diseño textil en denim con aplicación de tratamientos superficiales inspirado en la biomímesis de la flora local para la empresa OFICIO 11 CÍA. LTDA

Abstract

The present study aimed to develop a women's denim collection with surface treatments inspired by the biomimicry of local flora for OFICIO 11 CIA. LTDA. To achieve this, research through design combined theoretical analysis with the exploration of biomimicry, enabling the creation of a jeanswear line with an innovative identity capable of standing out among garments that often become similar to one another. To achieve the first specific objective, a theoretical foundation of the main topics of this study was developed, including textile design, denim, biomimicry, innovation, and the corresponding finishing techniques. The compilation of theories and concepts facilitated the understanding of arguments that reveal how these elements relate to each other to generate proposals with a distinctive visual identity. Regarding the second specific objective, through a mixed-method approach, preferences were identified by analyzing qualitative and quantitative data obtained from interviews conducted with seven experts in the fields of design and biology, as well as surveys directed at the target audience, reaching 104 participants. The findings validated the need to incorporate surface treatments together with elements from nature as an effective approach for outfit development. As a response to the third specific objective, the collection called Fiorefosis was developed, based on a biomimetic methodology applied to textile design. It integrated nature observation, textile experimentation with surface treatments, the development of technical sheets, and aesthetic compositions inspired by three local flora species from Ambato. This process enabled the validation of results and the definition of criteria that guided the materialized proposals of the study.
