seWith-Inclusive Co-Design Digital manufacturing
SeWith promotes inclusion in the fashion world through digital fabrication, developing functional and aesthetically pleasing clothing for people with disabilities. The project explores new technologies for personalized production, allowing users to actively participate in the design of their own clothes. OpenDot, with its co-design approach, helps transform fashion into a more equitable and accessible field, breaking down barriers and redefining the boundaries between industry, craftsmanship, and innovation. For us, practicing co-design in fablabs means moving beyond individual initiative and DIY solutions. It’s about developing collaboratively tested solutions that are openly documented, easily replicable, and financially accessible. The first workshop: May 13–14 2025, Nantes
