About Fabricca Headbone Primárna funkcia: Pokrývka hlavy

Text knihy: Headbone je dizajn drôtenej textilnej pokrývky hlavy, ktorý redefinuje tradičné pokrývky hlavy prostredníctvom integrovaného vnútorného systému na kontrolu tvaru. Dizajn umožňuje stabilné udržanie tvaru bez špendlíkov, uzlov či zložitého ovíjania, čím nositeľovi umožňuje intuitívne tvarovať a upravovať formu. Jeho obojstranná konštrukcia poskytuje dve štýlové možnosti v rámci jediného objektu. Spojením funkčného inžinierstva so sochárskou estetikou ponúka Headbone modulárny, prístupný a moderný prístup k dizajnu pokrývok hlavy.
