CAMBIUM
structural, wearable corset
Named after the thin layer of living tissue that generates new wood and bark, Cambium draws inspiration from the dialogue between nature’s growth processes and human-made construction. Cambium is a sculptural, wearable corset constructed from laser-cut wood panels. It is designed to conform to the human form while preserving a striking geometric structure.
