Palm Leather Shoe
The focus of this design project is the development of opportunities for the waste material palm bark in Southeast Asia. Experiments proofed that the bark is capable of changing its texture to a soft and leather-like material. The innovative material is exemplified in a wooden shoe which is inspired by the traditional craft in Indonesia.
