Phoresy Pack
Phoresy Pack is an ergonomic backpack design with a unique foldable structure. Its structure is produced from a single sheet of genuine leather that has been precisely CNC-milled and creased to form a material that can expand or shrink flat to adjust the backpack's volume. While the final outcome of the project is merely a backpack, the aim of the project was to explore applications of Computational Design and Digital Fabrication principles in the fields of customizable fashion and industrial design.
Phoresy Pack Backpack by Stepan Pianykh was featured as an innovative example of strategy design by the A' Design Award. Phoresy Pack Backpack received the Bronze A' Design Award in Generative, Algorithmic, Parametric and AI-Assisted Design in 2024. The A' Generative, Algorithmic, Parametric and AI-Assisted Design Award is an international, meritocratic, just and fair design prize that celebrates exceptional design of algorithmic artworks, parametric architectures, generative graphics, AI-Assisted illustrations, computational sculptures, procedural patterns, evolutionary installations, interactive experiences and more.
