aRks‘ coral collection is made of pla (polylactic acid) and pla flex; a biodegradable and bioactive thermoplastic aliphatic polyester derived from renewable resources such as corn starch. the minimal thickness offers the perfect wearability, adaptability and comfort. additionally, the cotton inserts make the 3D printed organic shapes available to wear like normal underwear.
