According to various scientist, even the smallest movement of hands over different surfaces – fiddling with the fabrics – is proven to have a therapeutic positive effect. “We started experimenting with highly tactile textiles to encourage fine motor skills, gently massaging muscles and stimulating brain activity in an unconscious way” the designer continues. #tactility #textiledesign #design #customfurniture #interiordesign #productdesign #surface Custom Textile, Dementia Care, Textile Texture, Brain Activities, Nursing Home, Fine Motor Skills, Tactile, Textile Design, Motion

Motion Bench
Large woven structures were made, with different types of yarn, both hard and soft, three-dimensional, fluffy and smooth. Boon: “We found that letting them just fiddle with the fabrics, and feeling the transition from harder, folded structures into a fluffy, soft mohair really makes some of the residents come to life. That’s really special to see.” #structures #customfurniture #interiordeisgn #deisgn #textile #textiledesign Interior Deisgn, Fiddle, Custom Furniture, Three Dimensional, Mohair, Bench, Fabrics

Motion Bench
The classic rocking chair is transformed into an interrelated sensorial experience. The Motion Bench is suitable for all groups, but offers limited and immobile patients the possibility to get moving again. This sensation of rocking can reduce anxiety and depression, have a soothing effect, and even reduce the use of medication, as research has shown.” #customfurniture #design #interiordesign #architecture #productdesign Rocking Chair, Depression, Anxiety, Experience, Architecture, Studio, Classic

While a rocking chair may not seem like a likely choice as an aid to slow down disease development, studio Samira Boon proves that there is hidden value in both the tactile environment – which stimulates movement of the fingers, thus stimulating the brain – and the actual movement of swinging. #bench #customfurniture #textiledesign #textile #customtextile #sculpture #productdesign Fingers, Disease
