It is an exploration of patterns in fabric such as knit and lace, as well as 3-dimensional structures and surfaces, and natural phenomena.
Love & Robots have previously experimented with 3D printing chainmail structures, as well as complex organic patterns, but the Plumage Cape extends those explorations to construct a piece of clothing that can be printed in one piece without any assembly required.
All feathers are customisable and can be re-designed personally according to each wearer’s style.
