concept

Living during what she calls the "shift of power" of the 2020s, Yunfei believes that advances in technology will shift design mentality and manufacture methods in a sustainable way. There is a whole generation striving for change, committed to making the Earth a better place to live. Her designs draw aesthetic inspiration from the works of Piet Mondrain, abstract colour artist Bridget Riley, digital artist Chad Knight and brutalist architecture and sculpture artist Antony Gormley. Her footwear prototypes are fully 3D-printed, functional walking art. She used a mono material* and managed to achieve multi-density through careful engineering. This allowed for zero waste during the printing process.
