Bones. They are everywhere. You can’t see them because they are under your skin. Unless you are in a skateboard crash. Then you can see your bones, because oh my god that looks like it hurts pretty bad. But what do you do with the bones once the meat is eaten off the bones? I’m talking like after a nice chicken shack visit. Then what? Felipe Ribon has the solution in a bunch of forms. You read those, then you read which one I think I’ve thought of that’s missing.

What Felipe Ribon has done right here is to use some sophisticated secret techniques (widdling away with exacto knives and such) to recapitulate the forms of bones taken from food industry “waste.” The amount of “waste” generated from every food industry around the world is staggering. You know what I mean right away, I’m sure.

I applaude Felipe Ribon for taking the time to take bones apart and put them back together to make some really amazing stuff. Take a peek at this project here!

Glasses By gluing thing layers of bones, we can gain on flexibility and resistance. This properties allowed me using numerical drilling technology to use it in the fabrication of glasses.

High Heels Due to its high resistance to compression I wanted to use the bone in the fabrication of shoes.

Pen This material can easily be polished, making it very soft and gentle to the skin touch.

Disposable Food Instruments 100% ecological and food compatible, I imagine a series of instruments, such as a spatula, a pick , a swizzle stick and a mixer. that can be used once and throw away.

Here’s what I think’s missing: the prison shiv. Bones carved the right way can kill a dude! That’s scary as heck to think about. Don’t get sent to prison.
