SQUARING THE SQUARE /2009/

The collection is named after the geometric problem of tiling an integral square using only other integral squares. This division principle underlies the design of all six models - each of them is based on tetragons of various proportions, ranging from rectangles to squares. Quadrilateral pieces of material are sewn together and bonded in various orders (there are only two models where several curved lines are present).

Materials used are: woolen cloth, artificial leather, fake fur, jacquard metallized-fibre fabric and rayon lining. The scanning of shoes pattern also represents a rectangle overturned in a certain order and fixed in accordance with the foot shape. Material: PVC.
