Textile fibres in product design

High-performance fibres, especially carbon and glass fibres are used typically in many industries due of theirperformance. In addition to being widely used in industry, these fibres have attracted the attention of designers in recentyears. In this research, a selection of innovative products that have received awards in international design competitionssuch as RedDot and IF and the use of carbon and glass fibres have been examined.Research topics and objectives in the textile engineering literature include fibre production and performance analyses,but there are limited studies on their use and their impact in daily life. In this research, the use of high-performance fibresdesigned in innovative consumer products will be demonstrated to provide information on how these fibres meeteveryday people as consumers to improve their lives. This research also aims to create common studying areas for twodifferent disciplines.
