Showreel 𖣂 ͏ELEMENTS OF NATURE
RIGHT DIRECTION x ἐphemera ONE

A hybrid collection born from data, materialized for the body. For this collaboration, we created prototypes of garments generated from ecological data—pieces intrinsically linked to the parameters of specific Alpine localities. Each form draws from the geometries of native plants, translating their adaptive logic into wearable structures.

The collection exists in two realms: physical garments produced on-demand, and their digital counterparts, connected via embedded NFC tags. It is a modular system designed for scalable retail—a living interface between nature and technology, ecology and design.

Premiered at | Digital Fashion Week NYC & London 2025. Two looks were realized as physical dresses by .up and garments by .one with digital twins, featured on the runway and within the metaverse space.

— Work in Progress .one —
The physical accessories carry NFC tags, soon to be activated with real-time ecological data. This is the second chapter of our larger exploration. The third will focus on materiality and fabrication—testing sustainable, biodegradable materials to deepen the connection between what we wear and the ecosystems we inhabit.
Follow the evolution.

Geometries emerge from ecodata.

•Elements Of Nature• series features abstract organic patterns, digital sculptures and forms linked with the elements of species habitat and communicating the notion of the interdependence of every form of life upon the other.

The geometries are generated parametrically with custom scripts in and can be changed upon alterations of the incoming data. In our previous projects, we used bioacoustics data on Whales (The Soundwaves Collection) and data on the locations of Lions (Tracing The Wild) to create digital sculptures that represent the dynamics of species‘ behavior and habitat in time and space.

〰️ follow us to find out how the new iteration came to fruition.

.one is intertwining virtual and physical Nature.

This summer, we pushed our research into the tangible realm, using additive fabrication to materialize the geometries of ecological data. This is the next step in data representation: moving beyond the screen to create artifacts you can see. touch. wear. and connect with.
