Collaboration with students from the textile departement at Khio (Oslo National Academy of the arts). A range of sitting objects, puffs, to be placed in public spaces. When you sit on one, another one lights up, creating contact and possible communication between the users.

We experimented with conductive yarn, ending up with knitting a strech-sensor which  registrate whenever someone is sitting on the puff. We chose the knitting technique for the rest of the puffs as well, to use the flexibility and transparency of knitting in combination with the ligths. Cooperation with Julie Olssøn, Ane Eines and Helena Gyhagen.
