Lope
Material and process exploration
Product design
B R I E F
This brief was titled: Object. Meaning. Making. Table top objects were the focus, where we had to develop products that told a story and that were derived from 'making' or hands-on prototypes as a process.
R E S E A R C H
Diving into physical prototypes was what informed the next step of the process. Blue foam was the chosen medium and the act of 'pressing' or 'imprinting' was the explored technique.
I N T R O D U C T I O N
Lope is a little family of objects that started from exploring the creation of depths on a planar surface.
Explorations was done by building a series of physical mockups that informed the next steps led to the decision of the final outcome.

On a day to day basis, we unknowingly create these impressions or imprints, yet have no way of visualising them.
What if there was a way we could capture and picture them?

Capturing the unnoticed, unique imprints we leave behind, Lope recreates these unseen gestures, prolonging the fading moments of our everyday.
