Flora aims to incentive this symbiotic relationship that
raises the beneficial presence of microbes and
bacteria in the human body.
Flora uses techniques of microencapsulation of
targeted bacteria in a non-woven fabric making it
possible to wear the probiotics that keep our body
healthy.
Creating scaffolds for the exponential bacterial growth
in appropriate areas of the body, our clothes and
accessories become the ecosystem that balance and
support our skin flora.

Inflatable inserts, activated within
the underwear linen, through the interaction
with a connected pillow. The wearer can
hug, cuddle, caress, press this interface as a
surrogate for the human contact or just explore
its surface as he would explore his own body,
facilitating gestures.
