Sustainable Biomaterial Prosthetic Shell

The co-living prosthetic shell is made from a mycelium composite, exploring the natural growth of mycelium and transforming agricultural waste into a sustainable material. Beyond providing protection for prosthetic limbs, the unique texture of the mycelium offers individuals with disabilities a new material experience. This tactile sensation provides physical and psychological support, fostering a sense of connection between the user and the prosthetic shell. The design encourages a symbiotic relationship, strengthening the bond between user and prosthetic, enhancing well-being and self-confidence.
