The 'Hìtëkw' Racquet Offers a Strong, Lightweight Form

The 'Hìtëkw' racquet has been designed by the All Design Lab as a strong, lightweight piece of sports equipment focused on changing the game when it comes to tennis.

The racquet was designed using a combination of DALL.E, Midjourney and generative algorithms, and boasts an aesthetically perplexing form for the handle and body. This works to both enhance the rigidity of the racquet and increase its aesthetic appearance. The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the design process gives it an almost alien-like appearance across the Y-frame, but also looks like the roots or branches of a tree.

The All Design Lab commented on the 'Hìtëkw' racquet design process saying, "What we learned from this was that while these programs are extremely powerful, they are only as powerful as the source material they have to sample. And with tennis rackets, the form doesn’t really change all that much from its inception."
