Torbjorn Lundell's new light-emitting textile, GloFab launched at the 2006 Stockholm Furniture Fair uses light directed through fiber optic cables which are weaved together to create a range of effects.  Fiber optic cables can only be bent so much before light can no longer pass through them so the knots of GloFab are all kept large, giving the textile a beautiful gossamer look which perfectly suits its ethereal glowing quality

The light source can be anything from a lamp to the sun.
