With the aim of developing interactive environments, B.lab Italy has created a line of “surfaces”, top of the tables and floor tiles, called B-surfaces. The B-surfaces containing colored liquids enclosed in a durable polymer shell. The result is an interactive floor or horizontal surfaces that respond to pressure as well as to electrical charges. Walking in the footsteps of those who are temporarily stored by the movement of fluids inside the surface. According to the designer Gianfranco Barban and Gregg Brodarick, the b-surfaces should have become the movement memory, turning the floor into a tool to express their creativity.
