- An exhibition is a natural part of presenting this kind of scientific results, there are works which require exhibition in their physical form, says Clemens Thornquist, professor at the Swedish School of Textiles and one of the organizers behind this year's exhibition.

One of the exhibited objects is a sitting pouf that breathes. Another example is a chair that acts like an exotic bird - as you approach, it changes color and emits sounds. The possibilities are aplenty when technology and design meet, which will be visualized in the exciting exhibition at the Museum of Textile History.
