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.
