These otherworldly shoes are inspired by the intricate beauty of botanicals, as captured in Karl Blossfeldt’s microscopic plant photography. Constructed from 3D-print PLA, acrylic, and cotton, the design monumentalizes the complex microstructures found in nature, reinterpreting them through additive “growth” manufacturing. By fusing organic patterns with digital innovation, the shoes blur the line between the natural and the crafted, evoking a sense of ethereal wonder. This exploration of structure, functionality, and form celebrates the strange, supernatural beauty inherent in our world.
