In this shoe project, the focus lies in the design of the production process. By shaping the
process, from the computer-generated tool paths that shape the tread pattern to the fusion of modern techniques and traditional practices like wet felting, the emphasis is placed on the making of the object. Through this approach, the person crafting the shoes becomes an integral part of the design process. This perspective underscores the importance of the process, elevating it beyond mere utility to a personalized, unique object that reflects the integration of technology, craftsmanship, and materiality.
