Temperature Textiles
Communicating climate change through textiles.
How does it work?
Temperature Textiles range from knitted blankets, to scarves and socks and are designed to carry climate data and to provide warmth to the user. The manifested data shows three main drivers and results of Global Warming. These can be identified as Temperature Change, Sea Level Rise and Emission.
For example, the scarf diagram shows that the temperature might reach 4ºC by 2100 if no emission reduction is applied. The diverse patterns and graphics of Temperature Blanket – Double knit are based on related climate data. The diagrams shown on the Sea Level Blanket are based on the prediction models until 2100, as presented by IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change).
Why is it needed?
Temperature Textiles is an awareness project.
How does it improve life?
Temperature Textiles is initiated and developed by Raw Color with the aim of manifesting climate change data on a series of textile objects.
A physical exhibition has been presented at the studio of Raw Color during Dutch Design Week. The blankets of Temperature, Sea Level and Emission are shown with additional process. In the shop, the smaller pieces Temperature Scarf and Sea Level Socks have been displayed.
