Inspired by the intricate texture of reptile skin, Parametric Reptilia utilizes 100% recycled Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) material sourced from industrial waste to craft an elegant fashion piece meticulously. This innovative approach highlights how the seamless integration of parametric design, digital fabrication, and craftsmanship can leverage the materiality of recycled TPU material, 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.
