DESIGN FOR LUXURY & CRAFTSMANSHIP

Júlia Claveria Baro – ONE SIXTY C — A study on ribbons: working with discarded polypropylene

by Júlia Claveria Baro

ONE SIXTY C, a fictional brand of home objects, explores how heated polypropylene ribbons can shift from soft textile to structural surface through a repeatable melting process. Rooted in a Catalan reference — the traditional espadrille — the project translates this logic into monomaterial home objects for the foot: house sandals and doormats. By fusing layers of ribbon into self supporting bases, ONE SIXTY C proposes a form of contemporary craftsmanship, where industrial leftovers are carefully reworked into precise, hand led objects for domestic use. All from a single humble ribbon.
