Timberland Construct : 10061
"Oak" & "Venus"
I began my process by exploring solutions from this curious world of ours, that I could cross pollinate into the Timberland 6-inch boots architecture.
For the "Oak" boot I utilized the textures and organisms that inhabit trees to envision a more robust 6-inch boot.
"Venus" is more mysterious, taking inspiration from carnivorous plants Featuring a lace-less closure system modeled on the microstructure of the fly trap itself.
Each structured component is grown & formed into a mold with the aid of a catalyst. An automated "tailor bird" assembly cuts, stitches, & adheres structured/soft components.
At end of the product lifecycle, it is placed into a solvent to dissolve stitching/adhesive, leaving the raw materials to be "re-booted".
