Monday's quick start: Cryptographer & Encoded Textiles by Raw Color

Secret codes bleached into your cotton with hidden messages...it does sound a bit Science Fiction but it is real!

This project: Cryptographer & Encoded Textiles was designed by Dutch collective Raw Color. Daniera ter Haar & Christoph Brach are Raw Color and they work on self initiated and commissioned projects in their Eindhoven based studio.

Cryptographer & Encoded Textiles made it's debut last April at Salone del Mobile 2012. Together with Remon van den Eijnden, Peter Bust, Bart van der Linden, and Studio Watt, they created a project that was inspired by cryptography or in other words 'code language' which was often used in World War I and II to secure communication and information when in the presence of a third party.

I mean how cool is that now you can have your own personal message encoded into a cloth making it extra special to have or to give..
