The message of the project
The project aims to create a product that accommodates a wide range of body types while offering a flexible and supportive fit. Designed for comfort, ease of use, and seamless integration into everyday life, it provides both physical and mental support. The selected materials and technologies simplify production while maintaining a sleek and playful aesthetic, with unique knit structures and calming color palettes.
The goal is to strike a balance between function and aesthetics, ensuring the product not only serves its purpose but also looks and feels great. Moving forward, the team plans to develop a modular system that allows users to start with a basic belt and then choose heat patches, materials, and specific placement options. Additional layers of heat support can be added or removed, providing customization based on individual needs. The project is also exploring easy disassembly options to promote upcycling or recycling.
The vision is to create a product that supports people without the cold, impersonal feel of traditional medical devices. Instead, it’s designed to blend effortlessly into daily routines, making it suitable for various settings, including the office. It’s not just a functional tool but a new category in the wellness and healthcare sector—a product that people will genuinely look forward to wearing. The design incorporates emotional elements, nature, and creativity to redefine healthcare aesthetics.
The idea behind the project
The project’s journey began with Body Moody, the first product introduced to the market. It is a garment specifically designed to ease menstruation cramps and back pain through its minimalist design and two strategically placed heat patches.
