LumiGram in France has come up with some pretty cool fiber optic fabrics. Clothes, table cloths, bags and pillows are lit up with battery powered LED’s running through fiber optics woven into the fabric.

Naturally, this means that all their products need to be carefully hand-washed and can only be folded parallel to the optics to prevent damage. I think this explains why the clothing seems to be oriented towards females since most of their clothes requires special care anyways. Still, I really like the light-up table cloth they have.
