PATENT PENDING
GRDXKN®
is a textile printing technology, which enables a two- dimensional material to become three-dimensional in parts. Textiles, which have been reinforced with this technical colour print, are at the same time lightweight and sturdy, flexible and abrasion resistant.
The former purely decorative colour print becomes a functional, architectural structure.
THE CORRELATION OF PATTERN AND SHAPE
The characteristic surface implies the design’s secret.
What we perceive as an imprint is the functional core of
the concept.
The printed combs in an elaborate pattern are arranged
on the inside, they create a unique surface, support the
shape and protect its content.
example of inside comb pattern, printed and activated
The uniqly designed pattern can be tailored to fit the final
object.
The print has properties exceeding a usual material
available by the meter. The pattern can be individually
created to define and shape specific areas.
AESTHETICS
example of inside rounded comb pattern, wool textile
This technology blurs the lines between function and
look, creating a very aesthetic appearance whilst
combining rigidity and flexibility when needed.

GRDXKN®
Based on the 2D screen-printing technology GRDXKN®
can interact with many different textiles. The water based
technical material is solvent-free and, when activated, be-
comes a flexible PU foam with a non-slip character. The 3D
effect on the surface depends on each textile ‘base’, but
also on the pattern and the thickness of the foam. GRDXKN®
meets the requirements of the Ökotex 100 Standard and is
ecological certifiable.
For perfect costumer requirements foam prints and textiles
have to be tested for every individual product development.
