SKI BOOT / Ski boot

Project Work in cooperation with Weitzer Woodsolutions

 
SKI BOOT / Skischuh

Megatrend Maps from the “Zukunftsinstitut” as well as research into technologies for bending wood became the foundation of this concept. Based on these insights, a ski boot with components made of wood and plant-derived biochemical materials was created. The concept envisions a sustainable, modern ski boot that utilizes plywood components in the areas of the shells and shaft. The ski boot also incorporates eco-friendly materials such as Taraxa Gum for the grip sole, or wooden chips for padding.
