DESIGN NAME: Mesh
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Shoes
INSPIRATION: When I reserched about a way to walk, I found an interesting article. By improving the cushioning characteristic of shoes, Our way to walk become bad way. So a lot of modern people's walking way is easy to get injured. However When we walk on the beach without shoes, our way to walk become good way. So I decided to design shoes which has feeling of barefoot.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: I made an original mesh material to give breathability, flexibility and the feeling of barefoot. To make original mesh, First I give some cutting pattern on material sheet with laser cutter. And then I press the material against a shoe mold. So the mesh pattern is changed by the cutting pattern.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: First give a cutting pattern on the sheet mature with laser cutter, and then press it against the shoe mold and use the heat gun. after that attach the sole part.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: in June 2015 in Netherlands

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The material I use can be keep the shape with heat. So It is easy to make shoe shape.
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: 25cm
TAGS: Shoes, Heat, Cutting pattern
RESEARCH ABSTRACT: I research about how to walk and shoe history.
CHALLENGE: In order to give feel of bear foot, I made original cutting pattern. When I press the original mesh material against the shoe mold, There is completely different pattern. So I searched beautiful cutting pattern when It become 3D.
