The PETE concept merges plastic bottles
and creates garments from them according
to your taste. The consumer only has to
choose the required clothing type, color
and cutting, while the machine gives the
amount of PET bottles needed for the
fabrication and turns the bottles into
polyester and prints the garments. This
method creates a natural recycling method
for plastic bottles and turns the consumer
into an eco-designer.
Set to Mimic is a set of smart kitchenware
that recreates tastes and smells of your
food to your preference. By placing a
noninvasive transparent gel patch with a
microchip on your head, the plate and glass
communicates wirelessly with your brain, to
recall an experience of taste or smell from
the past by tapping into your memory. That
way you can eat a carrot but have the
impression that you're eating ice cream or a
steak, which makes it easier to lead a
healthy life.
