Bio Uncu Maker and Bio Tocapus Maker

This project was born as a question: What would the Bio loom of the future look like? Would Biomaterials Loom be the solution that could allow us to ensure a circular economy at home, in such a way that each designer and/or person with basic knowledge of biomaterials would be able to manufacture their own personalized biomaterial garments?
The Solution? A bodysuit made with a biotextile that has a minimum impact on the human’s health and environment. A biotextile that is biocompatible with human skin while, at the same time, allowing each user to tell their story, share their cultural identity and in one word - empower - by allowing them to bio-fabricate their own BIO UNCU (Inka’s shirt). We’re having in mind a garment that respects and honors Peruvian’s Textile Heritage and uses digital bio fabrication technologies as a medium for empowering it’s final users (UX).
To validate this first hypothesis, we decided to manufacture our first Bio-Loom that would allow us to manufacture a garment with a minimalist and geometric pattern. That is why we decided to start with Inca’s garment or shirt (Uncu), which takes its original name “UNCU” + Maker.
