pinch basketry
2019/ 6 weeks



Pinch is an material based experiment that aims to reshape basketry while celebrating its origin.

Traditional basketry requires weavers to be in tune with their environment, which shapes the final outcomes. I paid tribute to traditonal gather during my design process by using scrap materials from my
surrounding.

The collection amplifies through contemporary materials the core weaving construction: interlocking structures and graphic expression

The project also evolved in a footwear model part of a collaboration with fashion designer Maja Simesic.
