Skyscrape

Skyscrape is innovating in the textile industry with temperature-responsive fabrics, designed to revolutionize clothing. These fabrics possess the unique ability to adapt their structure based on temperature fluctuations. As temperatures decrease, the fabric thickens, providing enhanced insulation. Conversely, when temperatures rise, the fabric thins, reducing insulation. This 'intelligent insulation' is achieved without the use of wires or sensors, relying instead on the inherent material properties to drive the shape-changing behavior.

Skyscrape's fabrics aim to deliver superior thermal comfort across a broader range of temperatures compared to traditional clothing options. The development of these adaptive textiles involved extensive research and development, spanning several years and requiring the collaborative efforts of a diverse team of scientists, engineers, designers, and weavers. This interdisciplinary approach was crucial in designing and optimizing the machinery and processes necessary to create yarns and fabrics capable of responding dynamically to environmental changes.

Skyscrape marked its initial market entry through a collaboration with Ralph Lauren, featuring its innovative fabrics in the 2022 Team USA Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony.
