SUPER ARMOR x Shih Chien University College of Design - Firefighting Suit Design Industry-Academia
2022/08/08 Taiwan K.K. Corp.Taiwan K.K. Corp. has been working on fire resistant fabrics for over two decades. The protective properties of the fabric itself directly influence the safety of firefighters. Our R&D Department initially focused on the enhancement of the fire resistant properties of the fabric rather than on the design of the pattern or appearance.
We made EN Standard fire fighting suits and our patterns are based on European and American body types. The question of whether such patterns are suited to Taiwanese or to Asian body types has been a long-standing debate in the industry. So, we work with Shih Chien University College of Design to renovate and improve our fire garments. Hoping to use this opportunity to design a firefighter’s garment that better fits Asian body types. This is actually what makes Taiwan K.K. Corp. quite different from other brands.
