Woven Fiber Optic Textiles by Astrid Krogh

Woven-Fiber-Optic-Textiles-by-Astrid-Krogh_001

Astrid Krogh is a Danish designer who is making her mark in the world of textiles by combining the ancient art of weaving with the most unconventional materials: fiber optics. With properties similar to those of traditional textile fibers, optical fibers can be intricately woven on a loom. When the ends of the fibers are connected to color radiating light monitors, tapestries are created with an incessant flow of ever-changing color. Astrid's woven light installations have created a new product vernacular where textiles and light merge.
