About Raices Tvarūs Papuošalai

„Raices“ linijos dizainas atsirado dėl poreikio pakartotinai panaudoti tūkstančius ovalo formos naujų odos išpjovų iš apsauginių batų gamyklos, kurios kasdien išmetamos dėl nereikalingos naudos. Siekdama juos panaudoti pakartotinai, dizainerė sutelkė dėmesį į technikų, kurios leistų atrasti didžiausią grožį ir funkcionalumą, paieškas, įkvėpimo semtis paukščių sparnuose, masteliuose, suskirstytuose ir persidengiančiuose. Siekiant išplėsti spalvų paletę, taip pat nuspręsta pakartotinai panaudoti kitų įmonių odas.

Unique Properties
The design of the Raices line was conceived from a sustainable point of view, through the reuse of the oval left over from the Ombu safety boots.
The goal: the generation of unique pieces through craftsmanship, maximizing its use and the ability to generate different patterns from color changes.
We sought to minimize the reading of the difference between the ovals.
The staggering allowed to minimize the differences and to take the thicknesses as a fundamental part in the generation of value and also to generate rigidity, greater solidity to the proposed pieces.

Production Technology
The elaboration of this entire collection is done manually, reusing small leather ovals left over from Ombu safety boots, as well as small remnants from different local leather goods companies.
It is done by hand cutting and gluing, as can be seen in the video and in some cases the incorporation of studs or rivets that add light and reinforce its character.
Design Challenge
It is always a challenge to work from a given shape. The work concentrates on finding its beauty and functionality. Finding the latent message of these materials, their proportion and then, the design.
The boots are made in black, brown and white. This color limitation, led us to take as an opportunity the use of small scraps from other companies, thus expanding the palette and the saleability of the pieces.
Integrating the concept of corporate social responsibility and rescue of crafts.
Research
This line emerged in response to the need to reuse small scraps of discarded leather, for which its development was limited to direct experimentation.
Technique used: scaling, a resource that can be assimilated to the natural structures already known, minimizing the differences in size between the ovals and, in turn, taking the thicknesses as a fundamental part of the generation of value.
The objective: the generation of unique, handcrafted and durable pieces. Making the most of scraps. Expand the offer of the same piece through changes in the possible patterns by means of color changes.
Inspiration
The inspiration for this line comes from the scales on the wings of birds. That overlapping that gains character with changes in color and depth. It was the technology of the use of a certain raw material, the leftover ovals from the manufacture of boots, which led us to look for the latent language in this material and its possible uses for the formal generation. The colors would appear later when this resource allowed us to recover very small scraps of leather from other companies.
Project Duration
This process of recovering materials began in 2012, incorporating new pieces and new colors year after year. Different pieces of this collection have been exhibited at the Fairs: Expocomer Panama 2014 Maison et Objet 2014-2015-2016-2017 They have been sold to the SF MOMA, Japan and France until today
Operation Flow
This object is easy to access, easy to use and does not require help to handle it. Although this material requires certain care: do not wet, do not use alcohol and take care of it with bitumen or wax to increase its durability.
