TogetherWeShine or JuntosNósBrilhamos in Portuguese or KoosMeSärame in Estonian, neck warmers accessories can be used by mothers and daughters, sisters, friends, grandmothers and granddaughters or by anyone wanting to shine out the “Sparkle” taking over the heart when (re-)united with the loved one.
The collection vividly illustrates how technology, apart from separating people (as commonly agreed and believed), can successfully join them as well. And carries an interesting twist mixing old traditions (croche, knitting) with new technologies (LED, conductive thread, switches) to show how generations (technology, skills, people…) together can function and supporting each other, literally shine.
They have made a collection consisting of pairs of garments, accessories that interact with each other by showing the importance of connections between human relations. Pieces literally light up with LED-s while get connected to each other.
