Shock Absorber Bra
During aerobic activity, many women experience pain due to breast movement. The movement follows a figure-eight pattern, shifting up, down, and sideways.
This discomfort affects numerous women and often
deters them from participating in aerobic sports or
physical activities.
My inspiration came from Biomimicry, studying the structure of a pomelo peel. The peel consists of several protective layers that cushion the fruit during impact, compressing to absorb energy while remaining lightweight.
The outer skin is dense and rigid, while the inner white layer features interlocking fibers, spherical and cylindrical structures, and bubbles bound chemically.
This design creates dual air systems: air within the bubbles and air between them, enabling the rind to absorb up to 90% of an impact.

Maintaining the ratio between cell and material thickness. Pomelo rind structure.
02 / Inspiration
This diagram illustrates that each bubble in the Pomelo peel
is composed of a network of interlinked tubes,
providing structural strength while remaining lightweight.
The Pomelo rind benefits from a dual air system that enhances its shock absorption: the air between the bubbles and the air contained within each bubble.

Fabric Print Bra
The bra was designed using a specialized 3D printing technique with custom G-code that allowed the entire structure to be printed as a single continuous filament.
As the print layers built up, this method "locked" sections of the design in place, generating controlled tension in specific areas.
The result is a unique parametric structure that provides targeted support and flexibility tailored to the desired regions.

Nipple Concealment
A common issue for women is nipple concealment.
This study examines the issue of nipple concealment and the integration of the solution within a sports bra.
The challenge is to create a design that organically distributes material thickness to suit a wide range of breast shapes , while maintaining low production costs for mass production
