flexible shells

 

The spatial experience of wearable

feltobjects is enhanced by the

extraordinary haptic potential of

felt surfaces.

By using  three-dimensional structures

the volume and flexibility are increased.

This changes the relationship between

textile and body. The textile turns into a

sophisticated abstract sculpture which

demands movement from the person

wearing it  -

at the same time into a shell

which is protecting the body.
