kosuke tsumura: cocoon cradle and mother piece for tokyo fiber 09 senseware

kosuke tsumura, a fashion designer who is constantly searching for new,
meaningful perspectives for clothing and people, created clothing for a mother and her baby.
the rockable cradle is made from felibendy™, a material that is soft like a blanket.
the impression in the center, though, is firm like a silk cocoon.
individual sonic-cut units are combined like puzzle pieces to form the mother's clothes.
