Emerging Fervour

I think we might!! Check out these amazing 3D-printed haute couture shoes that have been created in a collaboration between Naim Josefi and Souzan Youssouf.

If you hear 3D printed shoes and can’t figure out what it means, which was certainly the case when I read it, imagine a big printer that prints actual shoes rather than ink on paper. How amazing is that?!  3D-printing creates a three dimensional object and is currently used for prototyping of all sorts.

Naim designed the shoe for his ‘Melonia’ show and came from the concept of no waste. They are products for an industrial ecology and due to the homogeneous material they are easier to recycle and create a closed loop.

His vision takes it further, where shoe production would be done on the spot. Imagine you could walk into a shop, scan your foot, customise colour and other elements and then just print out your shoe.

This definitely sounds like our kind of future!!
