Marion Lasserre
Marion Lasserre is a speculative designer and futures researcher, based between Paris and London. Through her work, she creates speculative narratives, installations, machines and objects that explore the invisible links between the human body, technology, science, myths and popular culture. A graduate of the MA Material Futures at Central Saint Martins in London and of Parsons the New School for Design in New York, her work has been exhibited at the Design Museum London, Milan and Dutch Design Week.
Entangled
Entangled is a design and material research project investigating the potential of integrating future materials and microorganisms into the 3D printing process with the aim of creating novel footwear. The project research explores how materials for 3D printing (flexible resins, biomaterials) impact the skin over time and what could be done, by using the 3D printing technology to improve foot health. Traditional shoemaking processes still use glues and agents which will be toxic overtime for makers and the environment. Can we invent new ways of fabricating footwear that respect the maker, the environment and the wearer?
The collection is inspired by the microorganisms that inhabit our feet and the shapes aim to begin deciphering what novel footwear can look like.
