Yunfei Ma


SHIFT+

Born 29th May 1994, Chinese

We’re living through a shift of power. A whole generation is taking to the streets, hungry for change, passionate to make the Earth a better place to live. Yunfei’s designs are strongly inspired by the works of Piet Mondrain, abstract color artist Bridget Riley, digital artist Chad Knight and brutalist architectures & sculpture artist Antony Gormley. After creating her own colour artworks she applied them to her designs using 3D printing technology, with the aim to design functional walking art. She believes the technology advancement will shift our design thinking and manufacture method in a sustainable way. Her footwear prototypes are fully 3D printed and zero-waste. She uses a single material, but manages to achieve multi-density through careful engineering.
