RSA Project
The RSA was a competition based project.
I chose to base my particular project in the category of 'Digitex' (exploring the benefits of digital finishing through textiles). I proposed the use of digitex within textile design to help people suffering from depression and anxiety.
In my brief i was required to use a minimum of two textile functionalities within
my design, i concentrated on the use of chromic materials and a
controlled slow release function.
The idea was to design a product to sit within an interiors context, which incorporated colour, pattern and the release of aromatherapy smells/ medication to help combat the symptoms of depression and anxiety.
I researched thoroughly the ways in which colour, light, and smell can work alongside medication to help improve a persons mood and well being. With this in mind i looked at producing a wallpaper which could trigger a
colour change through heat and touch, as well as this i also looked into the use of high intensity lux bulbs to help sufferers of
Seasonal Affective Disorder.
To work alongside the colour change functions i was
interested in using machine embroidery to create a pattern that could be
seen at any point, making it suitable for use as an everyday product.
