Melonia Shoe / Naim Josefi & Souzan Youssouf

Posted in Design - Fashion by * FORMAKERS

The Melonia Shoe project is a vision.

We are trying to trigger new ways of thinking about consumer products by including the product in an industrial ecology, with the help of Rapid Prototyping. When giving people the freedom of choice we hope to nourish their imagination and at the same time be more responsible for their material usage.

This project is created to send a message of strong optimism and give room for imagination on how to utilise materials in the future.

To demonstrate the cradle to cradle thinking, and close-loop system we made the Melonia Shoe in one material, nylon, which is a very strong and durable synthetic material. The regular shoes of today mix various contaminated materials and has no value after usage, and this is something we strongly wanted to avoid.

The system also enables a new way of owning where the object is subordinate to the materials worth..
