C(h)améléon Materials exhibition available now

As we move through a period of uncertainty economically, which ultimately can affect production, sales and the ability to make conscious long-term decision, there is a perpetual requirement to stay actively afloat and not sink by staying lead footed to the same point. Some say that smaller companies, although more susceptible to suffer from a downturn, are those that will have the ability to move the most efficiently and quickly with the changing times as opposed to the larger juggernaut sized companies that try and maintain out-dated working systems.  While the human world deals with what we perceive as crisis in waves and troughs, many animals face threats every day from potential predators, weather conditions and terrain.

Over time and through evaluation though, many animals have developed natural forms of defence or survival techniques.  One of the most visibly apparent examples of this is the Cameleon, a distinctive and highly specialized type of lizard.  Some, but not all, chameleons have the ability to change the colour of their skin as to blend into their surroundings and camouflage themselves from potential predators or prey.  This transformational ability and many more such as the possibility to cause change under the influence of electricity, light, water or movement to materials with varied optical effects can be found in Nordic Materials latest exciting and relevant Cameleon Material Exhibition.  From examples of use in the fashion and textile industry to materials that have been used for full building facades, Caméléon is an up to date insight into a field related to the Biomimicry field many are exploring at present.
