DEMON CAMBRIANA [2024]
The CAMBRIANA model builds further on the legacy and style of the earlier released PERMIANA. It's a more toned-down, mule like overlay that covers the tubular knit sock-like upper. However, the pattern of cutouts is more applied to function as a strategically semi-opened slipon shoe.
For me the challenge was to make an appealing, graphically interesting upper pattern, while the rest of the components make sure it directly fits within the current DEMON collection.
A research shows the study in patterns, to decorate the one-piece overlay as a cross-over between technical sports shoe aesthetic and DEMON ornamental signature. The generatively placed open pattern is cut out of distinctive materials to combine the brand's stealthy outdoor soul with a more animalistic, tribal spirit.
Pattern shape research and process to first and further round prototypes.
Trial and error phase of fine-tuning the pattern for aesthetic as well as feasibility and possibilities of material properties and lasting assembly.
