We seek to transform blendless mono-material into multi-functional pieces. Our goal is to use TPU (Thermoplastic polyurethane) to create systems in which materials are repeatedly re-used in a sustainable cy cle. With TPU, we are able to print thin, draping tis sue-like fabric and firm, so lid 3D forms. We can cre ate all of the parts of a garment from one material, making way for a whole new system

Our vision is circular: TPU filament is printed Garment is assembled (melted together) Garment is worn Garment is re-melted Extruded back into filament form Garment is re-created into a new seasonal piece

Since the garment has to be all same material. We were able to recreate trims of today in a functional way with the same TPU material as the textile.

The extruded filament could not contain any contamination of an alien material. This includes the yarn used for sewing. Therefore, we had to create tools in order to melt the seams together.
