OK, so you may not count wall paper as a fabric, but go with it…
NewScientists latest inventions feed has reported on the design by Phillips of new wallpaper that contains strips of electrically conducting wire. Their intention is incase you want to change your lighting arrangements you can just stick new lights in at different spots on your wall without having to peel the paper off, remove the plaster, place cables, mount sockets, replas…yawn. I applaud the idea - especially if other devices can use the same principles - TOTALLY wireless devices!!!….As long as they are stuck into a wall…
I am curious to see how a wall of minimalist magnolia would look with loads of pin holes in it from multiple movements of lights though….hmmm.
Nice idea - few wrinkles to iron out though I think.
For more see the NeScientist inventions blog (linked above) - absolutely worth a read anyway!

Awesome! Another organic materials blog! These are so rare…it’s refreshing to see someone else not doing drug discovery.

So many potential uses for these type of ‘power-enabled’ fabrics. How about lights built into cycling jackets?
