Biomimetics or biologically inspired design is a newly explored domain provided by the oldest designer of all times; the nature. From nano to macro scale, nature has not only evolved to adapt developing materials, immaculate objects into highly sophisticated methods, systems and processes to solve problems but also provided excellent examples of functional designs. Ancient Greeks used mimesis in an attempt to understand works of nature and to govern art for beauty, truth, and the good within the context of physical world as a model. After Plato, the meaning of mimesis eventually shifted toward a specifically literary function in the ancient Greek society, and its use changed and was reinterpreted many times since then. It was late 1950s when biomimesis were reintroduced as the science of systems having similarity with the characteristics of natural systems or their analogues. Since then many designers try to find ways to reflect the effects of this natural vision into their fields of study. The aim of this paper is to provide a broad overview of objects, processes, and applications under development or available in the market place handled with the approach of biomimetics.
