Celium™ made it to Paris Fashion Week. After 1.5 years of collaboration with Ganni A/S, seeing Celium™, our Premium Cultivated Cellulose, come to life on the Paris runway feels like a pivotal moment in our journey. Celium™ is featured in five standout looks during GANNI’s debut at #ParisFashionWeek Spring/Summer 2025. This marks a significant step in our shared journey to push the boundaries of fashion innovation and sustainability. The collection, titled The Craft, presented at Galerie Haute, Palais de Tokyo featured Celium™ in pieces such as the Denim Blue Bou Bag, Sky Blue XXL Bou Bag, Blazer and Jorts, and the Baby Pink Vest. It highlights GANNI’s fearless approach to integrating next-gen materials like Celium™ into bold, modern designs. This milestone represents more than just a runway debut—it’s a powerful statement about the industry’s shift towards sustainability. Innovators like Polybion™ and our peers in the Fabrics of the Future initiative are proving that biofabricated, next-gen materials are viable, essential, and ready to lead the future of fashion. With Celium™ in the spotlight, we’re transforming the material world, one cell at a time. Heartfelt thanks to Ditte Reffstrup and all the GANNI team for bringing these innovations to the global stage.

Last week, Polybion took part in ANPIC, a significant industry event in León, Mexico, focused on materials and solutions for sectors like footwear and leather goods. Being present at ANPIC, near our headquarters, allowed us to share Celium™—our Premium Cultivated Cellulose with a local audience. Our Chief Operating Officer, Diogo Frada, presented “Celium™: A New Category of Material,” highlighting how biofabricated materials can help reshape the future of fashion, footwear and apparel. We appreciate the platform ANPIC provides for sharing our latest advancements within our region. #Polybion #Celium #ANPIC2024 #SustainableMaterials #Biofabrication

How can biology reshape the future of design? At What Design Can Do MX 2024, Polybion was introduced as a key part of the answer. Last week, our Co-CEO Axel Gómez-Ortigoza Aguirre presented Celium™, our Premium Cultivated Cellulose, as part of the Redesign Everything Challenge. Designing with biology isn’t just innovation—it’s a tool for tackling global challenges. Presenting in Mexico, our home country, we aimed to inspire a new generation of innovators by showcasing how Celium™ is transforming industries with sustainable materials grown from fruit waste.

Some of the #materialinnovations we saw emerge during S/S25 Fashion Month Coperni Paris used the RLP, Rapid Liquid Print process to reimagine their Swipe Bag. A visually mesmerising process where liquid silicone is 3D deposited into a water-based gel suspension. This printing technology was originally created by MIT’s Self-Assembly Lab. We have seen this used before in a previous project with BMW Group who made Liquid Printed Pneumatics for car interiors and furniture for Steelcase. Burberry has incorporated Spiber Inc.’s Brewed Protein™ fibres into their B shield scarf. The bio-fabricated brewed protein which is made through fermentation has been blended with wool and cashmere. For Ganni A/S’s collection, they claimed to have explored over 30 alchemic processes and #fabricsofthefuture. Using a number of material innovations in their garments to replace traditional materials like polyester, cotton, and leather. These include Polybion Celium a lab-grown, leather-like biotextile made from bacterial cellulose. Recyc Leather's Pelinova is made from recycled leather fibres, and of course, Simplifyber™ Fybron™ is a cellulosic bio-fibre which can be 3D moulded for soft goods like bags and shoe uppers.
