Living Fabric
Living Fabric is a type of textile that can sense and react to its surroundings, often used in experimental design to create surfaces that move, change color, or adjust their texture. Designers use Living Fabric to make walls, furniture, or clothing that can shift shape or pattern when touched or exposed to light, heat, or sound. This fabric often contains tiny sensors or special threads that respond to signals from the environment, turning a flat surface into something interactive and dynamic. In experimental design, Living Fabric helps designers test new ways for people to interact with spaces and objects, using simple changes in the fabric to create new experiences.
