Weaving

Weaving is an interactive silk scarf that can be rearranged by the wearer. The square scarf measures 1000 by 1000 millimetres. Two tapes cross the body of the scarf in a warp and weft arrangement, drawn from traditional Chinese weaving methods. By pulling the tapes in four directions, the user changes the pattern and can form up to 16 different visual combinations. The design moves the silk scarf from a flat surface to a three-dimensional form. Digital printing is used for the patterns, which remain aligned in every combination.

Hodo Zero Gravity

Hodo Zero Gravity is a men's shirt designed for comfort in many settings. The name refers to the goal of no pressure, no wrinkles and no restraint. The fabric combines microfiber, modal natural fiber and spandex elastic fiber with Swiss HeiQ temperature control technology. The result is soft, skin-friendly and elastic, and helps reduce wrinkles after washing. Careful tailoring uses three-dimensional cutting for the collar, sleeves, waist and back. Light interlining keeps the shape, and fine sewing thread and firm buttons complete the shirt.

OmniFiber

OmniFiber is a microfluidic fiber technology for robotic textiles and garments. The fiber senses its own deformation and responds mechanically to it. OmniFiber contracts, extends, bends and coils with immediate response, high contraction ratio and high force output. A single fiber can be as thin as 500 microns and as large as 2 millimeters in diameter, and it can be knitted or woven into fabric. A wearable control module varies air pressure and flow rate to program the motion. Applications include kinesthetic wearables, dynamic fitting garments and textile-based haptic devices.

The Withering Flower

The Withering Flower is a celebration of the power of the flower image. The flower is a popular subject written as personification in Chinese literature. In contrast to the blooming flower’s popularity, images of the decaying flower are often associated with jinx and taboos. The collection looks at what shapes a community’s perception on what is sublime and abject. Designed in 100cm to 200cm length of tulle dresses, silkscreen printing on translucent mesh fabrics, the textile technique allows the prints to stay opaque and stretchy on mesh, creating an appearance of prints afloat in the air.

Bio Melanin

The practice-led research and design investigated the use of soil to create a substitute textile material in Thailand. It aims to maximize the value of natural resources in response to climate change, based on the concept of living in harmony with nature. A bio-fibre was synthesized from soil bacteria through a process that holistically considered the full production cycle, ensuring that it generated no waste. The final material contained melanin pigments similar to human skin tones, with hues comparable to those of people from Thailand.

Jing Series

Jing Series is a goose down quilt designed for quiet sleep. The quilt uses a patented Cicada Wing fabric that is light, thin and soft, with a weight of 86 grams. The fabric lowers the noise of turning over at night to below 28 decibels. A 360 degree filter design and a damping section at the head help the inner core fit the cover. A 3 centimeter box type vertical lining forms independent sound insulation and reduces contact with the fabric. The filling is imported Polish white goose down, and the fabric is treated to resist bacteria and mites.
