Bend It like H2O

Got lured in by the picture you saw, didn’t you? Well, so did I. Designer Chao Chen has been developing and working with a material that has an unusual type of shape memory. It changes shape when wet, and goes back to the original shape when dry.

The only thing cooler than that is the actual application of the material. Scroll further to see his series titled “Water Reaction”, a collection of insane, mesmerising sculptures and installations that change depending on their wetness!

‘Water’ clever idea, right!?
