Tati Ferrucio’s Onda Clog Is the Most Geologically Correct Shoe Ever Made

Designer Tati Ferrucio has unveiled the Onda, an innovative, geologically inspired foam clog concept developed through an AI-assisted design workflow using the platform Vizcom.

Key points

  • The Onda features a seamless, monolithic design inspired by natural textures like sandstone, tree bark, and wave patterns.
  • Designer Tati Ferrucio utilized Vizcom to iterate on sketches, maintaining creative control to achieve a layered, sediment-like aesthetic.
  • Functional cutouts are integrated into the ribbed structure to allow for water and sand drainage during outdoor use.
  • The concept is currently available in three colorways: grey-blue, sand beige, and sage green.
  • The project serves as a demonstration of how AI tools can enhance industrial design while preserving the designer's original intent.
Why it matters

The Onda highlights the growing potential for AI-assisted platforms to push the formal boundaries of footwear design beyond traditional athletic aesthetics. By demonstrating how designers can maintain creative authority while using generative tools, the project suggests a new path for rapid, high-quality product development in the fashion industry.
