Zaenkrat gre šele za prototip prve lesene jakne na svetu, sestavljene iz 250.000 lasersko izrezanih koščkov ameriškega oreha.

"Les je eden najpogostejših gradbenih materialov na svetu in tako že od začetka človeštva," pravijo pri Vollebaku. "Če lahko 30 odstotkov vseh stavb na svetu zgradimo iz lesa, zakaj ga ne bi uporabili tudi pri oblačilih?"

Jakna ima škatlasto obliko in je narejena iz 0,5-milimetrskih lesenih lističev. Ti so nato prilepljeni na bombažno podlogo, posamezni kosi pa so med seboj povezani s 60 lepljenimi šivi.

Prostor za izboljšave

Jakna je bila izdelana v Italiji kot eksperimentalni prototip, Vollebak pa načrtuje komercialno proizvodnjo čez približno dve leti.

"Pred nami je še veliko preizkuševanja," je priznal Nick Tidball, soustanovitelj Vollebaka.

Pri Vollebaku so sicer že šokirali svet s svojimi inovacijami: ustvarili so skoraj neuničljiv jopič iz posebnega materiala, ki je 15-krat močnejši od jekla, pa jakno iz bakra, ki naj bi ubijala viruse, in plašč iz grafena, ki deluje kot grelec in prevaja energijo.
