How to fold

Final

Context







Development











Fabric

I chose Marino wool for the fabric so it is quite thick but soft and warm. Twenty NZD per metre from Global Fabrics. It is a forresty green and old Zambesi stock so it's pretty nice. ye.

Button // LED holder

The corners that have these buttons / LED holders come together and make a switch which turns the LEDS in the next step on.

Scarf

Throughout the project I was not sure about designing a tee shirt as my product. As it is such an architypal object, it seemed difficult to redesign, and without the option of using screenprinting, it would simply just be a tee shirt with LEDS on it which I did not want to do. I decided to do a scarf instead as the patterns created are also very interesting [ because triangles are very interesting ] .

The same concept is still being applied, practicing the fine art of folding clothes to have a restful night sleep.
