SPORTBATIS – SMD1
Back to projects
Summary
SPORTBATIS – SMD1 explores a shoe design that could be made from one material using injection molding technology.
Vilnius Academy of Arts, second-year spring semester assignment.
Brief
Create a shoe design that could be manufactured from one material using injection molding.
Design challenge
The project connects sportiness, futuristic aesthetics, and the emotion of movement while working within a single-material manufacturing logic.
01
Form language
Wave-like and flame-like forms create an impression of energy, speed, and tension. Smooth surfaces flow into each other as if air streams were moving around the shoe.
02
Movement emotion
The shoe is intended to communicate speed, drive, and readiness for action. Its form suggests a frozen moment of motion.
