the reddress project

I am in awe of this art project fostered by Danish upholstery manufacturer, Kvadrat. The company partners with artists and galleries to encourage exploration of new textile applications and uses, and realize their vision. The Reddress project was completed in 2005.

To follow is the description of this art project from Kvadrat:

It was the Korean designer Aamu Song’s dream to create an enormous red dress, which would form the setting for this spectacular musical performance staged on 14th August 2005, in Louisiana’s park.

Rising to over 4 meters high, the monumental dress was made out of 550 meters of red Divina upholstery, it had a diameter of over 20 meters and was made with 238 'pockets' in which sat a member of the audience.
