Merchandising product for Milan, version 2
The economic crisis transforms purses and wallets into empty containers.Made out of a tubular piece of fabric, Tbag reverses the volumes of an ordinary bag.Especially designed for the Milan furniture fair, its outlines are pockets to slip leaflets business cards, and documents into whilst the main volume can hold jackets and scarves.
In parallel of my research, I'm looking at artists and designers having similar approaches, and I'm collecting elements, images, stories from all areas that I find interesting, organized around bipolar themes like:
pouring/over pouring, control/freedom, nature/reverse nature & gravity.

Demonstration in the clay studio with Canonbury art shop about Jesmonite (powder) and Bioresins (liquid), which substitute polyester and epoxy resins.I will try to get them as a sponsor for the Degree show. I will experiment with a flexible resin as well as a very strong or even reinforced one - also in contact with others materials like wood and plastic - to see how the material reacts and figure it out which ones seem to be the most appropriated one.
