Winnow: Interactive Material

Design  \

Winnow is an interactive material that reacts on the proximity of the user. Through different behaviours, swaying gently when far off or faster when approaching, Winnow invites you to approach. Once within arm reach, it will stop moving to allow the user to interact for a while before giving a sudden fast shake urging the user to leave.
