RE:TEXTURA / Pattern as Identity and the Future of Textiles

René Němeček and Rudolf Živec: technology, smart materials, AI and patterns travelling from the archive to the streets.

How is textile design changing, and what role can historic patterns play in it? The final meeting in the accompanying programme of RE:TEXTURA offers two perspectives on the relationship between tradition and the future.

René Němeček will focus on the future of textiles, technology, smart materials and artificial intelligence. Rudolf Živec will present Pattern as Identity and the journey of historic motifs from the archive to the streets.

The presentations connect questions about new approaches with regional memory and contemporary design. They take place on 13 November 2026, 10:00–12:00, as part of the RE:TEXTURA exhibition programme.
