Fashion/Textile Futures
The Fashion/Textile Futures research group explores new perspectives on human-centered design research. The group approaches research in the field of fashion, clothing and textiles in multi-faceted ways.
From creating smart textile prototypes and conducting case studies to designing immersive art installations, we are dedicated to embedding aesthetics, layered narratives, and deep expertise in textile fabrication techniques into the fabric of smart textile interfaces. Recognizing the profound impact of personal histories and cultural contexts, our research is rooted in material-driven, practice-based exploration, with a strong emphasis on hands-on experimentation.
We foster a non-hierarchical and collaborative environment, where knowledge creation thrives through open exchange across disciplines—bringing together textile design, interaction design, electronics engineering, machine learning, and material science.
At Soft Logic, our work is guided by three foundational pillars:
