Claudy Jongstra Claudy Jongstra innovative technique, craft, handmade, contemporary design, interior design, felt fabrics, design, tapestry, fabric
Claudy Jongstra (born 1963) designs and produces unique felt fabrics for interiors. She works together with architects and clients around the world to create unique pieces for specific spaces and purposes. Each Claudy Jongstra design is a one-of-a-kind object of contemporary design, partly handmade and incorporating traditional craft techniques and innovative skills. Thanks to her innovative technique, Claudy Jongstra designs can be produced in any format and in any colour. The result can be used as a wall hanging, adhered directly to a wall, or it can be used to cover other surfaces, as a tapestry, or as a fabric, for example, to cover space dividers.
Costume Choreography I Michel Guglielmi, Hanne Louise Johannesen (Diffus Studio) 2007 garments, choreography, Electroluminescent, light, wearable, social, theatre
By the use of electric leading material, light, heath and sensor based circuits of information it is possible to make costumes or scenography an active player in the theatre space. CC is based on the use of Electroluminescent wires and films cut into variable shapes . Those EL materials are either embedded into fabric like organza and felt ormerged into a translucid membrane.

Weíve developed a core lineup of products including textiles, foams, felts and powders all with specifiable degrees of conductivity. Our textiles have been used in a wide range of commercial and military applications (from static controlled clean rooms to microwave absorbing structures, biomedical instruments, dynamic pressure sensors, antennas, and resistive heaters), and engineers are discovering more uses for them all the time.

TapTap is a wearable haptic system that allows nurturing human touch to be recorded, broadcast and played back for emotional therapy. Haptic input/output modules in a convenient modular scarf provide affectionate touch that can be personalized. We present a working prototype informed by a pilot study.
Ztretch music controller Joe Paradiso, Dave Merrill (MIT Media Lab) 2006 MIT, electronic textiles, audio
There has been much prior research on integrating electronics into textiles. However, I felt that many of these projects did not take into account the usability and interactivity of the fabric. Much of the prior work is focused on rigid, exact places for touching the fabric, rather than supporting the many actions our hands and bodies can create. Thus, I wanted to make a device that could capture the richness of active touch interactions. These haptic interactions could be used to create expressive music.
