Mhox

MHOX is a generative design studio. It develops body extensions, objects or systems that integrate the human body to mutate its aesthetic and functional potential. Beyond the boundaries of product design, the studio engages the exploration of processes and conditions of body alteration, mutation and metamorphosis, creating communication actions and educational programs. MHOX experience started in September 2012 with the development of mass customization systems for product design. The studio developed an integrated framework with which the user's body is scanned and acquired in a digital environment; objects' form is generated through simulations of biological phenomenons, customized on user's body and target performance; objects are produced using 3d printing and digital fabrication techniques. The framework is employed for the development of both fashion and medical products. From MHOX experience, at the beginning of 2015 the brand CARAPACE PROJECT is generated, which pursues the research on generative design, biodigital synthesis, prosthetics and customization, deriving commercial products directly sold.
