Our design favorites for the month of March have many traits, but we wanted to focus specifically on those designs that prioritize sustainability, usability, aesthetics, and safety.

Since the earthquake in Turkey and Syria, we have been amplifying our efforts to bring attention to various charities and fundraising efforts to help those affected in the region. To continue the initiative, we thought it might be a nice idea to highlight some brilliant Turkish minds in the industrial and product design space.

The following five designs are ones we feel have immense potential to either help humans or set a standard for what we will see in the future.

In therapeutic applications, e-textiles are most used for heating and sensing capabilities. These functionalities can help with providing patients with a great level of care when it comes to comfort and safety.

We had so much fun sharing our design favorites with you last month, we decided to bring it back! So, here are our top 10 design favorites for the month of August! We hope this triggers some inspiration or puts some up-and-coming designers on your radar.

We are big design fanatics over here at Loomia, so we thought, “Why not release our design favorites every month?” Here are our top 10 favorites for the month of July (in no particular order).

There are several types of design processes out there. There is user-centered design, iterative design, immersive design, emergent design, and the list goes on. There is one specific design process, however, that has gained traction in recent years—empathetic design.

We’ve all heard the phrase uttered by teachers, parents, and even coworkers. But did you know that this wisdom can be applied to design?

Say the word “e-textiles” and the first thing that comes to mind is mostly likely “textiles.” And, what are textiles most associated with? Fashion.

Here’s how Loomia Tech and Accenture Labs are bringing electronic textile innovations to the mainstream.

The IPC is releasing a new set of standards to help bring the next generation of e-textile technology to modern products. As more companies begin to integrate e-textiles into their products, new standards will become increasingly necessary.

The global automotive market is slated to soar to $2.8 trillion over the next year, according to Statista. But what is--and what will—continue to drive this growth?

There are many gadgets and gizmos we use in electronics prototyping, and among the more “foundational” devices is something called a transducer.

Just before the holidays, we sat down with Rebeccah Pailes-Friedman, founder of Interwoven Design.

When discussing energy harvesting technologies, solar power is a popular, if not the most popular, option. And, it’s really no wonder why. There are so many benefits to solar, from reduced air pollution to cost savings.

Here at Loomia, we love using conductive materials in our workshop. Typically, we use conductive thread and tape when experimenting with circuits.

While our focus and main area of interest may be in e-textiles, we are always discovering new materials to apply our technology to.

A key component in most electronic devices is batteries. To put it simply, you would not have an electronic device without batteries; they are an essential element.

LEDs (Light-Emitting Diodes) are all around us; in our cars, electronic devices, home appliances, and other essential products for everyday life. They are versatile, relatively easy to integrate, and come in a variety of forms.

There are all kinds of sensors out there: temperature sensors, proximity sensors, pressure sensors, chemical sensors, and the list goes on. One type of sensor rarely makes the list, however, and that’s biometric sensors.
