Projecting Patterned Digital Lamps

JOANN and Singer Join Forces on the Ditto Digital Lamp

— February 27, 2023 — Art & Design
Sewing machine brand Singer taps the help of fabric retail label JOANN to join forces and design the Ditto Digital Lamp. It is made to simplify the sewing process through visual projection. The product projects the paper patterns on top of a table to help designers, sewists, and seamstresses properly customize their measurements and modify the designs if needed.

It reduces the use of paper as well, altering everything through a digital platform. The lamp can rest on the work area and the cutting mat rests underneath it. The fabric that needs curring is placed on top of the base and then the projector unveils the patterns onto the cloth, which can then be molded and cur directly.
