In addition, I developed a theoretical product and workshop aimed at fostering a deeper reconnection with natural materials and nature itself.<\/p><p data-start=\"535\" data-end=\"883\">Do we need colors that are as long-lasting as possible? Could the natural change of color be seen as a form of beauty rather than a drawback of using natural dyes? Can subtle, natural shades express their own unique qualities compared to the bright, intense tones of synthetic dyes\u2014and how might this influence the design of a product or
