I love this crazy knitted room installation by Isabel Berglund, aDanish designer and artist. 'City of Stitches' features a giant knitted tree and several outfits that are knitted right into the walls, letting viewers put them on and thereby integrate themselves into the installation.
'City of Stitches' is a brilliant interactive installation with cute little details that make it a great art experience for the whole family.
Implications - Knitting is a pastime that was once considered geriatric in nature, however numerous occupations like this are gaining new popularity. Consumers are continuing to embrace activities that allow them to multi-task just as knitting does. Businesses should consider embracing geriatric activities like this as a reversion to tradition.
