A TEXTIL SYNTHESIZER?!
We are presenting for the first time our approach to sound in an immersive installation that invites you get in touch with the basic electronic music fundamentals. During the week you can experience possible connections between light and sound through objects designed for physical contact with textil, steel frames and electro hardware.
What is TOC?
Touch Of Connection (T.O.C.) is a design project that explores how objects can create meaningful relationships through the sense of touch. By working with textures and familiar, intuitive gestures, interaction becomes a central and valuable element of each piece.
T.O.C. starts from the belief that touch is never isolated: it naturally connects with other senses, memories, and emotions. The project continuously investigates how physical interaction can influence behavior, perception, and the way we emotionally relate to everyday objects.
Designed to Be Touched
From hand-bent circular steel tubes and textiles developed for long-term care, to carefully engineered electronics, the pieces are centered on creating playful moments that invite reflection on our daily interactions with common material objects.
These pieces are designed to be lived with. Through daily use, they aim to nurture a renewed sense of care for the material world, inviting attention to the textures and surfaces that surround us.
By training our sense of tactility, we reconnect with sensing through our skin, reminding ourselves of the importance of physical contact as a way to slow down, observe, and build more conscious relationships with objects.
