Pollution-Sensing Dresses

The CO2 Dress Detects Carbon Emissions

This beautifully embroidered CO2 dress is also eco-friendly. It monitors the CO2 levels in it’s surrounding environment and the data is visualized in real time with the use of hundreds of embedded LEDs.

The CO2 dress, also known as the Climate Dress was created as a collaborative piece between diffus.dk, Alexandra Institute, The Danish Design School and embroidery company Forster Rohner. Taking embroidery from fashion detailing to environmental commentary the CO2 dress is truly remarkable.
