- conductive embroidery lights up the Climate Dress by DIFFUS Hundreds of tiny LEDs integrated into an intricate embroidery pattern light up the CO2 sensing dress developed by Danish design studio Diffus and herald the next generation of wearable technologies. Using innovative conductive yarns developed especially for this purpose, Swiss embroidery specialist Forster Rohner created patterns that were both appealing and functional without compromising their textile quality. This soft circuitry is a milestone in integrating electronic functionality into textiles and enables a true blend between fashion and technology. A dress that tells a story about the surrounding CO2 concentration The climate dress is an interactive dress that is reacting on the CO2-changes in the nearby surroundings. The dress senses the CO2 concentration in the air, then accordingly creates diverse light patterns by the use of over hundred LEDs — varying from slow, regular light pulsations to short and hectic. The Climate Dress is a statement that, trough an esthetical representation of environmental data, contributes to the ongoing debate about environmental issues. How Haute Couture and interaction design blend The Climate Dress uses soft conductive thread that has a similar consistence to the kind of thread used for traditional and industrial embroidery. This way the embroidery becomes more than an esthetical element — it has a crucial function conveying electricity and computer information …
