Canapa in forma! Program
BA Major Design Semester
2019/20 WS Ondo lo sgabello, è stato ideato partendo dalla volontà di dare forma e rigidità alla canapa permettendogli un nuovo utilizzo nel campo dell’arredamento. Il corpo principale in canapa, è stato sagomato e poi irrigidito tramite colla organica in modo da creare delle onde che creassero uno struttura por- tante, per sostenere al meglio il peso. Alla struttura principale in canapa vengono poi aggiunti, come finitura, una seduta ed un piedino in legno.
A project made in the course
Canapa in forma!
During canapa in forma project we explored the properties of hemp, its history, the various ways to grow it and to process it. Through various forms of experimentation on how to give it a shape, we have created artefacts of various kinds and uses. We pressed it into forms, reinforced it with natural resins, coupled it with wood, but also only stitched it. Among the objects we have realised: there is an innovative sled, a container for conserving fruits and vegetables, a vase for plants that provides nutrients to make them grow, a game to bring children closer to hemp, a lamp inspired by the production of hemp rope.
