BC1 (2022)


Proposed Material: Mycelium
 


BC1 is a custom corset, designed to open up the ribbcage for expansive breath rather than cinching the ribcage together. 


Citing to deep breathing techniques, the Rolfing method, manual alignment techniques, and ergonmic design, the corset supports the wearer’s back on one side then, moving under the ribs to support, pushing up the inner ribcage and sternum creating a more vast area for the diaphgram. Through gentle expansion the muscles around the ribcage are forced to recalibrate, the corset supporting them as they strengthen.
