Crochet Slow Interface
2024 Feb-Apr Personal Project
This project explores the integration of a color change mechanism into a crocheted textile that can notify or provide information to the user in an analog way. By leveraging the traditional aesthetics of crochet, the goal is to create a subtle, responsive interface that blends actual functions with the tactile beauty of handmade materials. This design aims to develop devices that trigger silent and responsive interactions, allowing users to receive notifications or information without relying on digital screens or sound, fostering a calming and mindful interaction through the medium of color and texture.
