The Melted Basket
Playing with the flexibility of synthetic thread, I developed these strong woven grids, which I turned into a basket to portray the essence of my technique in a clear but playful manner. It results in these intriguing contrasts in the structure of the thread. The polypropylene thread is melted together with a soldering iron at specific points to construct these connections without the use of any binding material, allowing the basket's overall grid to remain flexible and adaptable. Its playful shape does not interfere in its practicality, as it makes storing many items enjoyable and vibrant. The process for creating this solid basket is durable and will simplify the recycling process of polypropylene.
