Entry Description

Inspired by the intricate texture of reptile skin, Parametric Reptilia utilizes recycled TPU material sourced from industrial waste to meticulously craft an elegant fashion piece. This innovative approach highlights how the seamless integration of digital fabrication and craftsmanship can leverage the materiality of recycled TPU, resulting in an aesthetically pleasing, functional, and durable bag that offers a sustainable alternative to natural animal leather. Parametric Reptilia embodies a fusion of materiality, sustainability, craftsmanship, and bio-inspired computational design.
