Assignment:

“Products inspired in nature are more attractive, unique, lean and well thought, either it is an aesthetics or functional inspiration. The solutions, shapes and textures present in nature are endless. Humans have always taken inspiration from nature, where nature, thanks to forms and functions, it is e able to integrate with their surroundingsin an harmonic and sustainable way. Nature can provide a new sensibility to address the ever-present problem ofclimate change. The final theme involves the creation of a product design objectthat is natural inspired, by texture and/or by form, and/or function. Taking an everyday object of your choice, analyze its shapes and dimensions, rework it in a “natural” key, perhaps applying a texture to the skin of the object taken from nature (e.g., the wings of a dragonfly,a beetle, a snake),that can be only aesthetic or become a manifesto/signal of the climatic change(e.g., through pulsations or colored displays for air pollution)Use your creativity to generate the concept of an innovative object, that shows a creative alternative  in a more consciously and smart way of living.”
