Hybrid Sewing Machine

Serious seamstresses must usually invest in both a large machine for home use and a portable “handy-stitch” style one for everywhere else. Why not combine both? The Bermina sewing machine is both stationary and portable thanks to its clever docking system. Set it in the dock to use it the conventional way while it charges, or take it out of the dock for freehand stitching on-the-go!

Designer: Laura Lang

What do you think?

Hang Tag is a 2014 iF Design – Concept Design entry.

“Sporty Supaheroe” is a stylish cycling jacket for the urban warrior! This new kind of digital apparel proves that safety gear doesn’t have to look lame. Using stretchable circuit board technology, it offers improved visibility and security in the dark with bright LEDs.

The circuit board is made out of thermoplastic polyurethane, onto which meander-shaped copper conductors are applied. Therefore, the circuit board can easily be integrated into textiles by lamination.
