Dressellate explores different folding techniques by transforming 2D patterns and a piece of fabric into a 3D volume. The prototype made from thin plastic sheets is a study of the volumetry of the body. The final piece is a double-sided organic fabric covered with a natural resin that provides rigidness.

CONCEPT:

The digital pattern applied to the fabric attributes properties that are considered the basic tool of the design. Different volumes of folding are shaped around the body.

Software:

  • Rhinoceros

Fabrication method:

  • Laser cutting
