Inspired by activity mats for children, we designed a hoodie made to help its owner relax. We wanted to create a piece of clothing that can stimulate the senses: touch with different bio-textiles and vibration on the shoulder, hearing with speakers in the hood and sight with lights. We sewed squares of fabric together to be integrate bio-textiles on the hoodie. For the colours we decided to stick with pale and muted colours not to disturb the person trying to relax in the hoodie. Another aesthetic choice is to let the cicuits visible to give the possibility to understand the links between all the elements.
