Ecodesign is an approach to design of a product with special consideration for the environmental impacts of the product during its whole lifecycle. This paper describes barriers and success factor to implement eco-design in functional textile design. The designing phase is critical for the integration of environment issue. Ecodesign is an early stage of a design. Through an intelligent utilization of the available resources, Ecodesign aims at a product and process design that ensures maximum benefit for all actors involved as well as consumer satisfaction, while causing only minimum environmental impacts. In this survey, Biomimicry will be presented. It's the kind of inspiration is to create new and useful products for everyday life. This inspiration is always at the service of innovation and technology. That is why we consider the bio-mimicry, as a synergy between innovation, aesthetics and technology. We try in this paper to solve the toughest challenges in sustainability and train designer practicing biomimicry". The analysis of all examples of biomimetic fixtures shows that all of these products are a synergy once between innovation and functionality, once between ecology and technology, and again between the different notions. Man was inspired, always, from nature to meet their needs. Nature was a primary source in a significant number of creations. This has led to biomimetic products that differ in the raw material, the way of manufacturing, techniques, ornamentation that show the synergy between nature on one hand, and on the other innovation, aesthetic and technology. Therefore, we could develop the concept of sustainable development while trying to meet the challenges of this approach. In this paper, the main area of biomimicry in design will be presented and examples will be discussed.
