'M2' from Milev Architects is a new collection of dresses and jewelery made entirely out of rubber bands. That's right, all of these colorful dresses and necklaces are made entirely out of elastic.
'M2' from Milev Architects was made as an exploratory project to answer the question of what will happen to all of our office supplies once everything is done on computers. M2 isn't just a cool art project though, all the dresses and necklaces of M2 are actually available for purchase at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago.
