To reflect inov8’s philosophy of engineering products that enhance the natural, we drew on biomorphism to shape the visual language of the shoe’s midsole component. Specifically, we were inspired by two natural forms: foliar venation and muscle structures.
Derived from the Greek words bios (life) and morphe (form), the term refers to abstract forms or images that evoke naturally occurring forms such as plants, organisms, and body parts.
Biomorphism models artistic design elements on naturally occuring patterns or shapes reminiscent of nature and living organisms. Taken to the extreme it attemps to apply naturally occuring shapes onto functional devices.
