SOLAMENT™
CONCEPT MODELS
A project that embodies the functionalities and vision of SOLAMENT™,
exploring new forms of fashion.
Mechanism of SOLAMENT™
SOLAMENT™ absorbs near-infrared light, such as that contained in sunlight,
and generates heat, thereby demonstrating value through various functionalities.
When touching the heat-generating surface, the material feels warm.
Conversely, the side that absorbs and generates heat is less likely to transmit heat,
resulting in a cooling effect.
In the case of manufacturing heat-blocking fabrics,
combining yarns utilizing SOLAMENT™ with yarns that reflect light enhances the heat-blocking effectiveness.
By adjusting the fabric composition according to the application,
it becomes possible to meet a wide range of needs.

HOPE WEAR
Freeing people from heat
This project sheds light on new possibilities in fashion
by cutting near-infrared light, which is known to cause heat fatigue,
and further lowering the temperature inside clothing.
Focusing on the enjoyment and lifestyles that are gradually being lost
due to global boiling, we have collaborated with the speculative fashion laboratory Synflux
to create an apparel prototype that protects and restores the daily life and culture surrounding us.
HOPE WEAR
for Farm
A new agricultural wear that turns the sun into an ally.
By harnessing the technology of KUCHOFUKU,
it amplifies the heat-blocking power of SOLAMENT™.
Not only for agriculture, but for everyone working under the sun.
Structure and Function
The large volume of air drawn into the clothing by the fans of KUCHOFUKU creates a substantial space between the skin and fabric, maximizing SOLAMENT™’s heat-blocking effectiveness. By significantly cutting near-infrared light while keeping air moving, it promotes sweat evaporation making outdoor work more comfortable.
HOPE WEAR
for Play
To free outdoor play for children, no longer limited by heat.
By layering with pleated fabric,
plenty of air is trapped, providing a cooling effect beyond appearances.
HOPE WEAR
for Culture
To protect the cherished traditions and scenes that are beginning to fade under the heat.
We merge the straight-line patterns unique to Japanese attire with bold designs that invite airflow.
Bringing the innovation of comfort to the beauty of traditional clothing.
Structure and Function
By layering two fabrics, an exceptional heat-blocking effect is achieved. The outer layer uses SOLAMENT™ to significantly cut near-infrared light. Meanwhile, the inner layer uses pleated mesh fabric to create space between the outer layer and the skin, enhancing the heat-blocking effectiveness of SOLAMENT™ and delivering comfort beyond its appearance.
Design Partner
Synflux, a speculative fashion laboratory, is committed to realizing sustainable fashion by leveraging “Algorithmic Couture” as its core technology—a design system that utilizes advanced digital technologies to enable the creation of beautiful patterns while minimizing fabric waste.
