I love what these guys are doing. They are pushing design in a futuristic and different direction in regards to "environmentally responsive textiles". Keeping an ethnical edge and always considering the environment in what they do. In the past few years there has been a paradigm shift to more environmentally friendly technology as the current system is unsustainable, and creative new solutions that are innovative as well as environmentally friendly could be the future of this medium.
Digital Dawn - Light reactive window blind.
Inspired by photosythesis, the blind/lamp reacts to the local light and grows in luminosity in an organic way. Taking smart design and mixing in new concepts that are inspired by nature. Having a more connection with design and the natural world is always a good thing to me and out of the box thinking is the way that new developments happen.
