Designer Prosthetic Leg

The beautiful work of JOANNA M HAWLEY:

Prosthetics generally lack humanity, style and grace. Often, they look much like landing gear and make the wearer uncomfortable, self aware, and sometimes depressed. By channeling the Eames’ use materials and iconic style, we designed a leg with Steve McQueen in mind. We sought to convey a creative use of positive and negative space, a balance of materials and a reflection of the wearer.

Or as Bruce Sterling tweeted it: Eames-Punk.
