THIS PROJECT WAS PRODUCT OF QUARANTINE AND FOCUSES ON ULTIMATE INDOOR WELL BEING. WELLNESS ISN’T ONLY ACHIEVED THROUGH PHYSICAL HEALTH BUT ALSO THROUGH MENTAL CALMNESS AND RENEWAL.
INSPIRED BY JAPANESE DESIGN AND MINIMALISM.
THE GRIP PATTERN WAS INSPIRED BY ZEN GARDENS AND ZONAL MAPS. THE GRIP IS ONLY LOCATED WHERE IT’S NEEDED.
THE DENSE TERRY CUSHIONING ON THE BOTTOM OF THE SOCK IS INSPIRED BY THE JAPANESE HOUSE SLIPPERS
THE WAFFLE TEXTURE WAS TAKEN FROM SPA BLANKETS + TOWELS
JAPANESE INSPIRATION:
SHIBUI: AN enriched, subdued appearance or experience of intrinsically fine quality with economy of form, line, and effort, producing a timeless tranquility
IKI: CAN BE INTERPRETED AS SMART AND SOPHISTICATED. IT DENOTES A REFINED, PERHAPS EFFORTLESSLY CHIC, AESTHETIC. SOMEONE OR SOMETHING THAT IS IKI IS CLEARLY AND UNABASHEDLY STYLISH, BUT NOT PRETENTIOUS ABOUT IT
DANSHARI: COMPRISED OF THREE CHARACTERS- REFUSE, DIPOSE AND SEPARATE. THE CONCEPT REPRESENTS A WAY OF DECLUTTERING YOUR LIFE AND KEEPING ONLY THE ESSENTIAL THINGS THAT BRING YOU JOY.
GRIP EXPLORATION
I PLAYED WITH HEAT MAPS, THE SWOOSH AND LINES + SHAPES COMBOS TO CREATE MODERN ART THAT WOULD BRING THE FEELING OF HAPPINESS AND ZEN
