PHASE II
MATERIAL MEMES
In this phase, we were assigned to experience on the selected material from the chosen brands in phase one. Then combined them together to create a component, then later on a context describing future situation of these 3 brands and material selected.
The selected brands and material are;
Kuoni : Vernacularity and exotic patterns in the stores
Blohm+Voss : Bio-based material and Dynamic forms
1 Atelier : Leather and styles
I then combine each material in each brands together as shown below:
Kuoni x Blohm+Voss : Vernacularity x bio-based material x dynamic form
Kuoni x 1 Atelier : exotic patterns x Leather
I choose to experiment on Bio-based material, vernacularity and dynamic form as an experiment on a handmade paper based on vegetables. I chose 3 vegetables to to experiment which is, first, pandan, chayote and asparagus.
The paper then being made to imitate the form of the wire by spray the water on then blow dry or let dry in the sun, creating a form that is both dynamic and gives a form of space.
Lights were added in order to study more about the form and to give the phenomenological sense to the structure.
In the component plates, I choose to explore the form more , to create the surface of the structure as to be a shelter that accommodate people according to their scale.
The second Experiment is on Leather. We see leather as a one big piece of pliable material, bending and twisting. But leather have to space for air, or it is not airy.
I then choose to cut the non-bleached leather into two by two centimeter pieces, then combine them together using a sewing method that will helps to create a movable surface structure. And by using wires, the structure can bend and twisted, creating various forms.
I then experiment on creating various form of bags from this surface structure and also to experiment with light.
The last context plates talks about the future situation of these 3 brands. How they may provide the hub for exchange and meeting. If looking back to the context plate of the first phase, we will see as it represents how we choose to customize for ourself. but in this plate, it shows how we have center to trade, and we distribute our good to the center to share with others.
