The Sandal

        Sandal Design and     Construction Project

Material & Texture focused

Experimental Project

The inspiration of this product came from its     

   material, Polypropylene Plastic Ropes which are

    often used for arts and crafts. Weaving and

     intersecting each rope to create this pattern     

      gave me joy and create a special connection

      between the materials.

Sketches

Design Process involved random sketches and mostly was exploration of how strings and ropes and intersect. Another version I would like to expand on is the covered toes sandal.

Prototype was made of card board and rubber tubes (from piping). I enjoyed the bulky look. I also experimented the weave on prototype before gluing to real leather sole.
