A NEW INVENTION.

Petal Pusher is the latest in a series of interactive light and textile installations created by Seattle-based artist Maggie Orth. For this series, each pattern is embroidered on wool felt and then hand-tufted with electronic yarn. It's these yarns that hold the key to the inner workings of the fixture: When the users touch these tufted areas of the pattern, the whole structure becomes illuminated from behind, sending a warm glow throughout the unit. There are four different light levels in forty-nine different variations on the same theme, available in limited editions of twelve.
