Imagine a world where sound waves are visualized and turned into wearable art. This is the world of Vollebak, a British brand known for its innovative and high-concept clothing. Working with experimental filmmaker Josef Gatti, Vollebak has created a new collection, the Cymatic Shirt and Cymatic Swim Shorts, which transform sound into psychedelic prints on cutting-edge clothing.
So, how does it work? Vollebak and Gatti use high-resolution cymatics experiments to visualize sound waves in water. The results are then applied directly to fabric, creating unique prints that resemble the intersection of science fiction and particle physics.
The Cymatic range is the latest example of Vollebak’s ability to blend high-concept science with wearable gear. The brand has a history of pushing the boundaries of fashion and technology, as seen in its previous collections such as the lab-grown sweater, the NASA-inspired Shielding Suit, and the out-of-this-world Spaceshop concept.
The Cymatic Shirt and Cymatic Swim Shorts are designed to be both functional and stylish. The shirt is made from breathable cotton with a boxy, minimalist fit, while the shorts are embedded with thermoreactive bioceramic particles that cool the body as it moves. Both pieces feature a water-repellent coating, four-way stretch, and rapid drying technology.
Vollebak says that this collection is inspired by the idea of Tesla going for a swim. And honestly, it’s hard to disagree. The combination of sound waves and fashion is a unique and captivating concept.
