All you have to do is tap on the tufted textile sensor and it turns on, off or dims your lights. Each dimmer is handcrafted in Seattle, WA from Designtex wool felt, conductive yarns, neoprene, and acrylic. The electronic fibers are embedded directly into the material, so there are no hidden buttons or switches in the fabric. I like the idea for playrooms and even a funky, mod family room or game room.

Why are dimmers so radical? Why is chocolate delicious?

And the green, white, and blue motif? I'm not sure, but it's earthly, right?</p> http://www.geeksugar.com/2468790#comment lamp shopping eco Electro Puff Lamp Dimmer Thu, 06 Nov 2008 14:01:19 -0800 GeekSugar http://www.geeksugar.com/2468790
