Biomimicry - Morphotex

Morphotex is an interesting fabric developed by a Japanese company, Teijin. It is based on biomimicry as it is inspired by the South American butterfly called Morpho.

As part of its camouflage the butterflies wings reflect light.  Morphotex doesn't use any pigments or dyes as it is made from very thin fibres so it is also environmentally friendly as less energy is used to create it.

Morphotex is a highly innovative fabric as it is the first of its kind that doesn't use any pigments.
