custom 3D-Printed Bicycle Saddle tailored for comfort and performance
Inspired by her Biomimicry 3D-printed soft seat project (2014), Lilian has developed a revolutionary bicycle saddle that combines innovative design with natural principles. Drawing from nature's ability to create single-material patterns with multiple functions—like the intricate structures of leaves and spider webs—Lilian uses advanced 3D printing techniques to replicate these forms with precision. This saddle is fully customizable, designed to adapt to each user's specific needs. By analyzing pressure points, the saddle can be tailored to deliver optimal comfort and support, ensuring the best cycling experience possible. An exceptional example of how biomimicry can elevate usability and design, merging innovation, nature, and functionality seamlessly.
