prosthetic leg for women
'outfeet' by recent industrial design graduate aviya serfaty is a new prosthetic leg designedespecially for amputee women. recognizing that most prosthesis available on the market today are bad imitations of a natural leg, or are simply thin steel poles that disregard the female body silhouette altogether, 'outfeet' aims to embrace the idea of a prosthesis not only as a medial device but also as a fashion accessory.
the product's first focus is to meet the wide variety of needs in day to day life: the design features adjustable knobs that create artificial arches in the sole to adapt to whatever occasion, from simple commuting to sports. a separate high heel component can also be added for an evening look. there is also a collection of flexible skins that can be stretched over the carbon fiber body to give the leg a different look and silhouette without overbearing the prosthesis with additional weight.

the shoe boxes in the saint-andré store are arranged into walls, dividing the space into smaller rooms
the concept behind the saint-andré store is the idea of a library. shelves of shoes will be arranged into smaller rooms according to theme: casual, formal, athletic etc.the transparency of the boxes will make the shoes appear as if they have been frozen into ice blocks, stacked upon one another, creating an inviting showcase for visitors.
saint-denis' store runs on this idea of the ocean. it is the largest space and visiondivision has proposed that it be the flagship store of the brand. the upper floor has boxes built into the floor, formed like a river which 'flows' from both of the entrances to the stairs, leading downwards to the basement level, where the floor is completely made from an 'ocean' of boxes. there is a sofa in the shape of reunion island set in the middle of the space, where one can try on shoes or sit and view a slide show of products the store has to offer. the intention for some of the boxes is that legendary shoes may be kept within them, such as sneakers from the 80s, or footwear of celebrities, thus creating a bit of a museum within the store.
visiondivision: mangrolia chaussures stores
visiondivision has been commissioned to design three shoe stores on reunion island locatedeast of madagascar, for local shoe brand mangrolia chaussures. they wanted their design to be recognizable and adaptable to all of the mangrolia chaussures stores, so they have developed one shoe box which can be multiplied and stacked into almost any form, to allow for a variety of layouts, depending on the space of the mangrolia store. each individual box is made from plexiglas, acting as a display case for the footwear. they include a lid and a light and work on a system similar to that of lego, so that they can be fixed into different formations.
each of the three stores runs on a different concept:
