ZipShape development for Designers' Saturday 2010 in Langenthal: no news at first sight, but under the surface everything changed: The parametric model is built with Grasshopper. And the material is a composition of a core made from a composite from wood, corc and latex, covered with two face layers of ash wood veneer.

concept and parametric model : schindlersalmerón
prototyping : RAPLAB, ETH Zürich
