My group, Isabella Hollentin and Sang Jun Park and I were inspired by New Balances 'newSKY' trainer, that uses material created from recycled PET plastic bottles
Heres some initial sketches
This is our Wing-Back I found on the streets of Kingston
The making of the Sponge Chair
The finished Sponge Chair
Next we started on a stool/foot rest for the chair
We thought it would be a nice idea to feature the modern technology of QR Codes and when visiters at New Balance Experience Centre were relaxing on the Sponge chair could scan a QR code, access our blog and learn about the chair they were sitting in and the project as a whole
Above is the QR code for the blog we ran alongside this project:
(Scan it with you smart device or click on the link to access our blog)
We thought why not combine the craft of weaving with the modern technology of QR codes
Using off-cuts from the New Balance factory in Flimby, UK, we cut strips that could be woven
Unfortunately the stool didn't scan but we think with more precision it would have worked
