Knots

The project explores the aesthetic and functional potential of knotting applied to garment and accessories.

 

By methodically exaggerating embroideries, stitching and knots, it aims at revealing and subverting the relationship between the knots decorative qualities and its practical nature.

 

The scope for exploration spans between accessory, jewelry, garment, furniture and product design, and the techniques used can be declined into a multitude of purposes.

 

The material studies looks to open a new perspective on rope (a thirty-thousand year old technology) within a contemporary aesthetic sensibility, and taps into the vast historical knowledge of the thousands of existing knots.
