Lab Workshops

Attend workshops at Hohenstein

Workshops at our headquarters are focused on specific product groups - from shapely bras to comfortable loungewear to elegant suits. We offer tricks for pattern-making that turn design into reality and help you how to recognize and resolve fit problems. Participants send a product with an imperfect pattern for our textile engineers to optimize. Then, we discuss solutions during the workshop. During discussion groups, participants ask questions and exchange ideas.
