Fusilli - Generative Design
designed by: Clement Zheng

Generative design is an increasingly relevant field in design. For this studio, familiar geometries were investigated, and through an understanding of their innate logic, coupled with digital fabrication techniques, reproduced in ways unique and intriguing.

Fusilli is a wrist accessory generated from a simple algorithm during an exploration of mathematical oscillations and their three-dimensional paths. Coupled with the nylon selective laser sintering manufacturing technique, the perpetually spiraling form of Fusilli expands, twists, and contracts with surprising ease. This surprising elasticity and visual lightness, points at a new materiality not possible through conventional product design methods.
