Overview

The idea

AI is reshaping how products are made, and with it the designer's role. FYN explores that shift: using generative design and AI to find forms, optimize material and create a product that is both more sustainable and more personal.

AI exploration

Working with AI creates a different kind of form-finding. Instead of drawing, the designer sets parameters and the machine proposes shapes, independent of any initial sketch. A selection from that dialogue:

Flexible by design

Generative design drives material optimization, performance and individual fit. Zones of varying flexibility, precise water-flow calculations and 3D printing make every fin a custom one.
