CO2-dress

This very fashinable dress is a visualizing garment with pollution sensors. It is designed by Hanne-Louise Johannesen in association with diffus.dk, Alexandra Institute, The Danish Design School and embroidery company Forster Rohner. Hanne-Louise wanted to create a garment that changes through time and patterns according to the level of CO2 in the environment where the garment is located. The evolving patterns are made of LEDs powered by soft circuits (made of conductive textiles and yarns).
I really enjoy this project, because it is fashionable AND interactive AND electronic AND fun AND also represents a articular aspect of ecology. I love how the lights patterns are composed with the initial design of the dress. I also enjoy how it reacts to the amount of CO2 in a room or environment.
