Coat - en kollektion ”slow fashion”-möbler. Ett projekt inspirerat av det klassiska herrmodets ”tröghet” och dess betydelse för hållbarhet

Abstract

Coat, a collection of "slow fashion" furniture is a project inspired by the classic menswear as a symbol for sustainability. The theme deals with the structure of the dressed suit, such as tailored jackets, shirts and details such as cufflinks that haven't gone out of style in hundreds of years. "Slow fashion" is about succession rather than revolution in order to maintain a legacy with gradual changes and to administer a history. The work wants to show the meaning of shape as a quality that is not bound to the material, but rather to proportions and basic shapes. It looks to the beauty of those shapes that do not always have to change. Longevity can be created by composition shows that not everything is controlled by trends and consumption rush. The result is a collection of furniture made by pressed mouldable polyester felt that folds around the body (a frame of wood or metall) and embraces you when sitting.
