Found Umbrella
The Material
I found this umbrella discarded on the streets on a late-night walk home in Rotterdam. I had been looking for a lightweight bag to stuff in my carry-on for an upcoming trip, and then it hit me - this was the perfect material. The most challenging part of this process was working with the shape of the original object.
Pattern Making and Production
After finding a general shape I was happy to pursue, I created a card model and made my pattern based on that. Then, I began to sew.
Sketches
After finding the material, I began sketching different shapes and forms.
