BioQuotidian is a WIP collection of additively-manufactured everyday objects made with ubiquitous, simple, and equitable biomaterial blends able to outperform current synthetic composites, biodegrade without trace, and approach a new era of non-toxic products to all segments of society. The collection includes DERMA, a dress digitally designed and fabricated using biomaterial leather substitutes from silk protein and chitosan biopolymer developed at DumoLab during "Medium of Fashion" course and unveiled at the PMA during the Wharton Charity Fashion Show.
