Designers draw visual inspiration from the human body's genetic makeup
Trend - Fashion and industrial designers are recreating the look and feel of human organs and skin with new materials that promote sustainability. Drawing inspiration from human anatomy, these design projects create representations that address the importance of using low-impact materials.
