Capturing Fabric Movements: "Memories of Flow" – The Challenge of Unifying Functionality & Beauty in Textiles

Project Foil marks ZOZO Group's first venture into textile development. In collaboration with HOSOO Co., Ltd. and the Yasuaki Kakehi Laboratory at the University of Tokyo's Graduate School of Interdisciplinary Information Studies, the project focuses on the joint research of creating new textiles that integrate functionality and beauty. This initiative combines traditional craftsmanship with advanced materials and interactive technology. Currently, the exhibition "Ambient Weaving─Environment and Textile" showcases five pieces, including textiles that change color with ambient temperature, fabrics with computer-controlled organic EL illumination, and UV-curable materials.

This time, we introduce the piece "Memories of Flow," utilizing UV-curable resin. Enjoy the concept and documentation video of the creation process.
