Moving Brands are one of the most impressive companies I've met all year. Too good actually, I had to advise them that I couldn't really do any more for them than they could themselves. Curses. And they've just launched one of the more interesting things of the year - Weare.
Last Christmas they put a grid of fairy lights in their window and allowed people to send simple pixely pictures and messages to it via the web. They stored all the images that were sent and have made it into a splendid scarf (complete with rude words). I really like the simplicity of this. And you can imagine all sorts of possiblities for co-created textiles. What a genius thing.
That is very, very good. Nice, simple, good use of technology. Tangible digital.
Also, I'll be so bold as to predict that textile based Christmas greetings will all the rage this season. You know, all the, er, cool companies will be doing it.
