DESIGN NAME: Code Prototype
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Modular Jacket
INSPIRATION: 1. Reflections on the disposable culture of Fast Fashion
2.The core concept comes from the biology concept Polymorphism (There are different transforms under the same major construct.)
3.The product modular concept of industrial design.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The "Code Prototype" is a modular jacket. We deconstruct the jacket into three main parts: Collar, Sleeve and Body. Users can recombine the jacket form and functions by different parts, just like gears.
Modular constructions are easier to fix or just changes the damages part. The users don't have to dump the whole jacket just because of small damage.
We also hope this semi-customized design can make deeper connections between the products and human. Not just follow the “Fast Fashion”. We want to make fashion design more environmentally friendly and allow people to cherish their outfits.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: Code Prototype can be easily transformed just by detach the part you want to change, such as collar, hat, and sleeves in different size. Just change your style by simply change the parts of Code Prototype.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The design of Code Prototype started in May 2016 in Taipei and finished in December 2016.
FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Fashion, Apparel and Garment Design

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The Code prototype use several combining method to combine different parts of outfit. Including zippers, magnetic buttons, and other combining parts. We also use different fabric to exhibit multiple sense of texture.
