Invisible Shoe

Described
as a study of optical effect applied to shoe design, the Invisible Shoe series by
Andreia Chaves explores the concept of invisibility through the ‘chameleon
effect’ while the shoe’s reflective finished surface creates an obscured
optical effect with each step taken. This innovative design far exceeds the
primary function of the shoe, where “protecting” the foot also means “deleting”
it or “immersing” it into the environment. The Invisible Shoe is handmade in Italy using a combination of
leather-making techniques and advanced 3D printing technology. For the
development and manufacture of the external structure, Chaves has collaborated
with the renowned Dutch Company FOC (Freedom Of Creation). (Predrag Pajdic)
