Puff :
An Exploration on the Experience of Wind for Children
| Designed by : | Gui Xixian |
Under the Supervision of Senior Lecturer Donn Koh.
Puff is a playful wind-reactive apparel that offers children a physical dimension to interact with wind. Wind, which was once thought as transient, now lasts for a longer time in Puff. By exaggerating visual and tactile effects of the garment in wind, perhaps more vivid outdoor experiences could be made.
Drawing inspiration from observations of how wind manipulates daily clothings, Puff intends to amplify these interesting nuances, turning things that are often overlooked into something surprising.
To achieve the balance between exaggerated inflations and unassuming resting state, numerous experiments with materials and rounds of iterations with dimensions were carried out to complete the overall look of Puff.
The sleeves inflate when pointed at wind.
The body balloons up as wind enters.
