The Interactive Pillows


THE INTERACTIVE PILLOWS (2001-2002, 2004)

HINT: Dynamic textile patterns.

"The Interactive Pillows are based on the idea that the pillows should be able to interact ragardless of geographical distance. When one of the pillows is hugged or leaned against, the pattern of the other pillow changes its aestheti expression. The first generation of pillows were woven on a handloom and made of wool, electroluminescent wire and effect yarn. The second generation of pillows were made on an industrial weaving machine, using the same materials."*

*from the book Fashionable Technology by Sabine Seymour.
