“Enduring, not ultimate form”: from “Industrieform” to Red Dot (1980 - 1997)
Parametric Reptilia
PARAMETRIC REPTILIA offers a sustainable alternative to reptile leather by using recycled Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) to replicate intricate reptile scales. Parametric modelling imitates the rhythmic distribution of reptile scales, developing an interlocking structure that generates an extensive array of scale-like patterns for infinite design possibilities. CNC fabrication and craftsmanship combine to produce functional, durable, and sustainable textiles from bio-inspired computational design.
