FURVER fo.corset

FURVER fo.corset is an interactive hard shell corset with “emotionally volatile” fur that reacts to the proximity of those too near. Inspired by sea anemones, animated tentacles rise and bio-luminescent color intensifies to warn predators of personal space dimensions being invaded as well as protect the wearer.

The sensor located at the base of the neck, acts as “eyes in the back of your head.” As it “sees” people approach, fiber optic spines rise and light up to warn and protect. The interactive fur is an extension of goose bumps, or the hair we feel rise in anticipation. The hard shell corset is personal space armor as well as a interactive protection of spacial boundaries.
