AMPHIBIO
21st century is a century of water.
AMPHIBIO is a 3D-printed amphibious garment which function as a gill:
it supports underwater respiration and
provides daily comfort to people who
spend as much time in the water as on the land.
It is designed for a future
where humankind lives in very close
proximity with water, due to sea level
rises and partial flooding of the coastal
cities but also due to the emergence of
new cities built on water.
This project started with the aim to imagine our lifestyle in a world where our everyday environment is permanently semi-submerged, as a consequence of sea level rise caused by human activity-induced global warming or due to the emergence of on-water city alternatives.

I am a Biomimicry designer with experience in material science research and product design.
My passion is to discover Nature's hidden design and to use the learnt principles to come up with innovative concepts, design and technology. I am currently interested in our future lifestyle and interaction when our surrounding natural environment changes drastically, such as sea level rise.
