Knit Rejuvenation - Exploring the healing of touch

Knit rejuvenation is focused on using knitting and wet felt to create a series of interior products with different senses of touch to provide an assemble action as sensory interaction to heal people’s emotions. 

Fei mainly used knitted stripes with different textures to inspire people to touch and play. Being given new energy through the knitted objects – the interaction and process of assembling and disassembling, people gain a feeling of relaxation during the concentration of the connection with knitted objects.
