4 week project | Spring 2023
Objective: create a wearable device that fits perfectly to the 3D scan of a classmate
For this project I worked with Grace Gerber as my model to create a pair of stilts with build in knee support. Based around the mobility of ACL knee braces and an analysis of where the most pressure lies when using stilts, I designed these. The igneous stilts are a performace item for stiltwalkers with previous injuries, knee problems, or who generally need more support. The stilts are built to have their own visual appeal based on the flow of muscles and energy to look like lava, but can also work as understilts for another outfit.
These were designed working from a 3D scan, to a 3D model, to a digital illustration.
