ELEMENTUM is the result of the Clothing Species project developed by Daniela Pais at the Man & Humanity Masters program at the Design Academy Eindhoven. This project resulted from a yearlong research into industrialized models and behaviours and a study into other models of consumption, both prompted by the magnitude of consumption waste from products that characterizes our society.
From ZERO to TRES Elementum presents its first generation of clothing lines. It is developed following three main lines: Simple, Sustainable and Refine. This first species go from scarf to dress, along with a shirt, jacket, skirt and trousers.
The construction of the pieces is based on the total use of a piece of cloth in a tubular dimension, where minimum cuts provide maximum use.
It can cover your head, your neck, down till your feet. It can be wear flat, twisted, in layers. Most of cloths are stretch combined with some additions of non-stretch details. The fibers used are mainly cotton, viscose, bamboo and silk. One has to forget how a T-shirt is supposed to look like. Elementum invites you to develop new perspectives about your body, identity expression and consumption.
