At KDN R&D Atelier, we pioneer lingerie innovation through research, collaboration, and experience-centred design: bridging academia and industry to create sustainable, wearable solutions informed by real-world insights.
"We’re reimagining what lingerie can do—not just how it looks, but how it feels and performs."
KDN Research & Design Atelier (KDN R&D Atelier) serves as a future-focused research atelier at the intersection of academia and industry, advancing lingerie innovation through 3D printing, wearable technology, and sustainable design. With a core emphasis on experience-centred design, we aim to understand how wearer experiences and consumer collaboration can inform and evolve the creation of pleasurable, functional, and sustainable intimate wear.
​
​At our atelier, we are redefining the art and science of intimate wear while placing the wearer’s experience at the heart of everything we do. By combining cutting-edge research with hands-on experimentation, we explore how lingerie interacts with the body, enhances comfort, functionality, and pleasure. Collaborating with wearers throughout the design process, we craft products that are as personal as they are groundbreaking. Dedicated to sustainability and knowledge sharing, we empower designers, students, and industry leaders with tools and insights to shape the future of lingerie responsibly and creatively.
