Overview

Inspired by the concept of polyphenism, the ability where organisms are able to develop different forms and functions (phenotypes) with the same initial blueprint (genotypes).

This project will explore creating a similar system in product design.
The goal is to strike a balance in strength, beauty, user maneuverability, and economy.
