TACTILITY

The theme that I am going to work with for the tools & trade project is: tactility.
In combination with the craft textile surface design.
The surfaces that I want to make have a sensory ability and are e-textiles.
They stimulate the sense to touch and it makes the fabric come to life.
It wil interact with the user, because you can only fully experience the fabric by touching it.
It will have a playful three dimensional effect which will give a tactile experience.

A few scenarios that exist while using these surfaces are the following:
It is an escape from your digitized everyday life and daily rituals.
This surface is a respond to our contemporary society’s digitization.
It will help you to reconnect with people in your surroundings, because you can experience it with as many people as you like.
It will redefine your own identity and show others where you stand for.
This surface has the ability to change & adapt to our fast fashion industry without having to throw it away immedieatly, this can be used for a longer period of time.
All together this will give you a new textile experience.
