rhita projects

( design-driven and participatory approach )

Within RHITA, the projects embody a co-design approach where researchers, SMEs, designers, and local communities collaborate to test new ideas. Rooted in participatory and design-driven methods, these pilots translate fashion heritage and manufacturing know-how into innovative practices. Each project becomes a shared experiment, linking design and technology to envision sustainable futures for Italian fashion.
