Everyday objects get a healthy glow thanks to Rachel Wingfield and Mathias Gmachl of Loop.pH. The pair has even turned bed linens into fine art with programmable light-emitting materials. Their designs include pillows and a duvet cover that wake sleepers gradually with a blue-green glow, and curtains that blink to life as the sun sets. Their latest effort, Weather Patterns, is a light display of floral designs whose patterns and movement are animated by changes in barometric pressure, temperature, humidity, precipitation, and wind speed. The setup is on display at Droog Design in Amsterdam until April 9, but like most of their art, it may ultimately be available to home-decor buffs. Their light-infused tablecloths and wallpapers can already be custom-ordered online (www.loop.ph).
