London architect Daniel Widrig is presenting a collection of 3D-printed wearable sculptures during Design Miami this week, including one that looks like an exoskeleton.

Widrig’s Kinesis collection explores the possibility of creating customised 3D-printed products based on a scan of the wearer’s body so they fit perfectly.

“We have been working with body related objects for a while now,” Widrig told Dezeen. “We originally worked with mannequins which we sculpted ourselves based on standard model sizes. Nevertheless we wanted to go a step further this time and create customised objects that literally merge with the human body.”

“Every body is unique and has its individual oddities, so 3D scanning is the only way to manage a total blending between a specific body’s topography and the designed geometry,” he added.

Using a digital model produced by the 3D scan as a starting point, Widrig analysed the parts of the body where the products would be worn and developed forms that are designed to “emphasise and exaggerate them.”

Two of the pieces are designed to be worn around the neck, with one of them intended to resemble “an inflated skin wrapping around the model’s breast and neck area.”

The other neckpiece is inspired by the expansions and contraction of muscular systems. These two objects take the form of a dense amalgamation of curving sections that resemble sinews or tendons.

The third object comprises a series of connected forms resembling vertebrae, which narrow into ribs that fit over the shoulder blades. “It resembles an exoskeleton growing out of the model’s spine,” said Widrig.

All of the wearable products were manufactured by Belgian 3D printing specialist Materialise from a polyamide/nylon powder using a selective laser sintering process.

Widrig explained that the process is ideal for fashion applications as it can be used to create flexible shapes with high levels of detailing and durability.

“Since our first fashion experiments in 2009, we tried to push the limits of SLS by reducing material thicknesses to a minimum where we wanted objects to be flexible, and gradually thickening up where we required more rigid zones,” he said.

Artistic designer Daniel Widrig is behind this wearable art series. These 3-D printed pieces are a part of his Kinesis collection. Some of these sculptural accessories look like bones, while others are very abstract. These impressive designs all seem to be done in black, and are extremely imaginative.

The idea behind this wearable art collection is to make custom accessories that are tailored to the body of the person wearing them. This is especially cool when the piece resembles an exoskeleton.

These form fitting artworks are more interesting than your average accessories. They’re meant to put emphasis on different areas of the body, and they do just that.

Widrig’s creative printed collection is bold and incredibly detailed. These pieces turn your body into a living, breathing work of art.

Дизайнер Даниэль Видрик создает «носибельные скульптуры» — вещи, которые в зависимости от размера можно причислить к одежде или к украшениям, хотя они не являются ни тем, ни другим. Биоморфные «накладки на тело» печатаются на 3D-принтере, причем в параметры печати вводятся данные тела заказчика, так что скульптура идеально «садится» на тело конкретного человека. Вот этот «Маленький черный позвоночник» — ответ биоарта «маленькому черному платью» Коко Шанель, — был выставлен недавно на Designtide Tokyo, а вообще у Видрика много такого, даже целые биоморфные платья есть.
