Floating Scarves

My Droog design, floating scarves, uses recycled soda cans to combine functionality with aesthetics. Designed into a free-form metal sculpture and made to hang on the wall in a 3-dimensional fashion (sticking out from the wall about 1 inch), scarves of various patterns and colors are interwoven throughout flowing lines of sculpture.

Basically a hanging scarf holder, this design stands on its own as a great wall sculpture. It transforms into ever-changing possibilities with the addition of a scarf or scarves needing to be stored. Rather than hiding them away in a drawer or closet, this design allows the accessories to be viewed as pieces of art, in their own right.

The design lends itself to change - both change in the substance of the display (by changing out the scarves on any given whim) and in the perspective of the viewer (who is looking outside the box and admiring recycled soda cans and accessory clothing as decorateve home interior design)

I plan to cut up the aluminum cans to create small rectangular shapes which I will texture and then rivet together to form an abstract grid. I know this sounds confusing so by the end of the day I hope to have my sketches posted up and hopefully some photos of maquettes.
