[Pneumatics' Touch] LOOFT Transit

Leveraging on the encapsulation of air to provide insulation, protection and comfort, Pnematics' Touch explores the idea of shaping the seemingly “intangible” but readily available resource - air - as “clothing” for people, objects and space. The outcome - LOOFT Transit comprises 2 thermal wear and a laptop bag.

LOOFT Jacket & Sweater

Thermal insulation wear is associated with how well air warmed by the body can be retained close by. The Pneumatic Jacket and sweater  leverages on the formation of air-pockets to trap air, preventing air from being displaced and circulated by external factors, such as wind. Moreover, these air-pockets segments inflated air and creates “joints” that facilitate movement; thus, breaking the stigma of inflatable wear being stiff, bulky and restrictive to movement.

LOOFT Bag

The notion of using air as a form of protective encasing is not a new one, with bubble wraps predominantly used to protect objects. Juxtaposed with most protective casing for laptops, it morphs from a soft veil to a tense shell. Beyond a bag that transforms visually for the use of different occasions, it offers lightweight but sturdy protection for the object(s) it holds.
