On 13 August, OPEN FOOTWEAR celebrates its Hamburg premiere at FABRIC – Future Fashion Lab. The open-source research project rethinks footwear from the ground up. Digital manufacturing, local production and openly accessible design take on the wasteful logic of the fashion industry.
OPEN FOOTWEAR was founded by Juraj Šuška, a footwear designer with over 25 years of experience. Sustainability here is not a compromise but a starting point. It is built into how things are made, repaired and worn.
The compact "Clean Hands" workshop focuses on the know-how. It introduces material selection, design, digital tools, gluing and stitching. At FABRIC, you gain insight into the tools, materials and methods behind this shift.
The workshop is open to everyone, whether you already have making experience or are simply curious about how your own shoes come together.
Date: Thursday, 13 August 2026
Time: 5 pm to 7 pm
Location: FABRIC – Future Fashion Lab, Große Bleichen 21, 20354 Hamburg
Price: Free of charge, with the option to buy material kits for your first Open Footwear project (Open Barefoot 55 €, Open Run 75 € per kit).
Registration: Required, places are limited.
An event by Fab City Hamburg e.V. at FABRIC – Future Fashion Lab.
