Andreia Chaves InvisibleShoe


The “Invisible Shoe” was born from a study of Optical Effect applied to shoe design, where the designer explores the concept of invisibility through the “chameleon effect”. The shoe has a reflective finished surface, creating a deceptively obscured optical effect with every step taken.
TECHNOLOGY & CRAFT
The shoe was developed through a combination of leather making techniques to insure the best quality and comfort while fusing this with the advanced 3D Printing technology.

For some reson, lately, I've been feasting my eyes on things with a mosaic pattern:) I think this is an artistic shiny shoe and would make a nice display.
