STONE ISLAND PROTOTYPE RESEARCH_SERIES 07
Stone Island
LIQUID CRYSTAL HEAT REACTIVE
A LIMITED EDITION OF 100 PIECES

MILAN DESIGN WEEK 2023

Prototype Research Series are native limited editions. Unique limited-edition, made with fabrics and/or treatments resulting from research and experimentation that is not yet at an industrial scale.

Series 07 unveils a special thermochromic technology. The nylon canvas fabric, coated with a reactive helical-shaped cholesteric liquid crystals ink, reveals a vast spectrum of chromatic points, spanning diverse and unexpected degrees of iridescence.
Exceptionally changeable, in the range between 15° and 31°C, the liquid crystals distributed on the fabric trigger a molecular reactive color change system evident in the metamorphosis that enters the shades of yellow and green to then flow into the blues.
Developed by the Stone Island Research and Development Hub in collaboration with the British duo Sara + Sarah, Liquid Crystal Heat Reactive features a black starting base at room temperature, taking distance from the thermo-chromatic solutions previously investigated by Stone Island since 1989.



The installation:
A raised platform inserted in a black space houses two Series 07 pieces in Liquid Crystal Heat Reactive. Exposed to a heat source and cooled subsequently, the fabric exhibits the broad spectrum of colours attainable. LED screens complete the installation, projecting a chromatic microscopic investigation of the cholesteric liquid crystals.
