Aqua Light, designed by Lin Yun-Lien, combines textiles and lighting. Inspired by the bio-luminescent qualities of jellyfish, the curtain uses solar panels, fibre optics and LEDs and intends to help people who are afraid of the dark to sleep easily.
Kathy Schicker also developed a collection of light-emitting and colour changing textiles called Woven Light. The fabrics change colour when exposed to light or emit light when the sun has gone down by using solar powered fibres and threads that glow in the dark. It reacts subtly to the time of day and changing seasons. This is ground breaking technology in terms of sustainable textiles as it requires only sunlight to work.
