ChipScapes Blanket - Memory of Steel (Woven, Blue, Green, Red, Gold)
About the Blanket
Wrap yourself in technology—literally. This woven blanket is designed to be as comfortable as it is meaningful, combining everyday warmth with a quiet tribute to the technologies that shape our modern lives. Featuring a ChipScapes computer-chip image, it works just as well draped over a couch as it does displayed on a wall, adding a distinctive, conversation-starting element to your home décor.
These blankets are made using true textile craftsmanship, not surface printing. A Jacquard loom is digitally programmed to weave the ChipScapes image directly into the fabric, interlacing carefully selected yarn colors—black, white, red, blue, green, gold, and others—thread by thread. The result is a richly detailed, tapestry-style blanket with natural depth, texture, and classic fringed edges formed by the warp threads themselves.
Measuring 50 × 60 inches, the blanket is made from 100% cotton for a soft hand and long-lasting durability. It is machine washable and designed to be enjoyed for years, whether used daily or kept as a display piece.
About the Artwork
When I first saw this image taking shape, it immediately brought to mind the Art Deco architecture I’ve spent time with in Miami and Paris—the strong vertical rhythms, the repeating geometry, and the sense of optimism built into the design. Those cities use pattern and symmetry not just as decoration, but as structure, and I wanted to echo that feeling here. The circuitry’s natural repetition lent itself to that Deco sensibility, so I leaned into it, emphasizing stacked forms, balanced lines, and a disciplined layout. The color palette was chosen with the same intention: muted metallics, soft earth tones, and subtle contrasts that recall weathered stone, terrazzo, and aged façades rather than anything overly bright or modern. The result feels less like a piece of electronics and more like a woven architectural fragment—something that could just as easily belong on Ocean Drive or along a Parisian boulevard as it does inside a computer.
This image is drawn from a little-known memory technology called Ferroelectric RAM, or FRAM, a fascinating hybrid that sits somewhere between traditional semiconductor memory and older magnetic storage ideas. Instead of storing data as an electrical charge, FRAM uses a ferroelectric material whose physical polarization represents a one or a zero. That tiny shift in crystal structure is stable without power, giving FRAM its non-volatile character while still allowing fast, low-energy read and write cycles. Under magnification, the orderly repetition of cells reflects this unusual marriage of materials science and electronics—logic built not just from transistors, but from the behavior of matter itself. It’s an elegant reminder that some of the most interesting technologies are the quiet ones, developed for specialized needs and rarely seen, yet rich with both technical and visual character.
