Fabric Making
Additionally, I have long been fascinated by Japan’s fashion industry, which is known for its exceptional textile craftsmanship, innovative fabric technologies, and precise pattern-making techniques. Japanese designers have consistently pushed the boundaries of material exploration, creating garments that merge tradition with avant-garde experimentation. By studying these techniques, I hope to develop a more refined appreciation for the artistry behind different brands and their unique approaches to textile development. Furthermore, this knowledge will allow me to experiment with fabric in my own projects, exploring how textiles can influence spatial perception and sensory experience. Ultimately, I see this course as an opportunity to bridge the worlds of fashion and interior design, expanding my creative horizons and developing a more interdisciplinary approach to my work.
Bag designed for coffee cherry picking
I designed a backpack that facilitates coffee cherry picking for farmers. It features an ergonomic shape and can transform into three different forms to adapt to various harvesting needs. I also explored different materials for its construction.
Material Exploration
Inspired by kraft paper bags, I set out to find a material that could incorporate coffee waste as one of its components. I aimed to use coffee grounds as part of the backpack material to enhance skin protection, absorb odors, and improve recyclability.
