Inspired by a basic shape and evolving it into a solution of functional form to create an all new band. The iconic pill-shape serves as the base of design and is applied in each aspect applying proportion to create the function. The pill peaks and valleys fosters ventilation and comfort for the user when worn. The sculpted of the nose serves as an integrated release point and slider safe. This pill shape motif is also consistently reflected in the band's details, including the metal hardware, creating a cohesive aesthetic true to the Whoop. The choice of silicone dove the design form by playing up its benefits of maintaining shape but flexing to the users needs and also having the opportunity for a strong CMF story.
