Polypropylene

 

Polypropylene is an interesting material made of plastic that can be shaped into about an form.  It doesn't even need any closures if you create tabs the material actually locks within itself.  I used it in a light project while I was studying at RMIT.  To begin the project, I researched the material and the idea of origami.  

I came across Heath Nash.  The work he is doing is so unique.  He studied sculpture at the University of Cape Town but now is making lampshades and products.  He explores the notions of recycles empty bottle into beautiful objects.  I find his work to be fascinating.  

So when thinking about the Kahn and his words he uses to describe design...I thought of Nash and the JOY his work provided me.
