The Sessile Handbag by interaction designer Grace Kim is an exploration in merging natural forms with technology. It is hand knitted, felted, and appliqued with ruched cotton “barnacles”. Embroidered into the bag are white surface mount LEDs that alternately fade in and out, creating a gentle, pleasing light.
