Prototype title: Dreaming-vase Author(s) name(s): Marjan Kooroshnia Keywords: Smart textiles, photoluminescent pigment, dynamic surface-pattern Description of prototype (app. 200 words): My research interest focuses on the exploration of design potentials of smart colors on textile, and documenting them as tools to facilitate the understanding and designing of dynamic surface-patterns.

Dreaming vase is an object exemplifying my practice-based research project aiming to explore the creative design potential of mixing photoluminescent pigment with conventional textile pigment pastes in textile printing. The object is a two layer glass vase, inlaid with a printed surface-pattern that creates a two phase pattern; a pattern that can demonstrate an identical form at daylight as well as at darkness but with two different expressions. The Dreaming vase displays the development of dynamic surface-patterns, and the use of photoluminescent pigment in printing surface-patterns as it adds an extra quality to the object by emitting light without using any electricity.
