Lo studio francese di design e paper art Zim & Zou, formato da Lucie Thomas e Thibault Zimmermann, ha realizzato un incredibile e minuzioso artwork, reinterpretando il servizio di personalizzazione DYO di Timberland e le iconiche Boat Shoe.
Un lavoro impressionante per cura dei dettagli e capacità d’immaginazione, che ci accompagna in un mondo parallelo, fatto di esotismi, colori e avventure all’ultimo respiro.
Ecco come Lucie e Thibault ci hanno raccontato come è nata l’opera:
“For this collaboration we wanted to play on the origins of the boat shoe, which was created for sailers. The fact that Timberland allows you to customize the shoe with your own taste and create a unique model inspired us notions like difference and independence. As if this pair was the shoes of a pirate (we love pirates here).
That’s why we decided to play with a pirate imagery like a treasure chest, where the shoe is happily laying on gold pieces and diamonds, waiting to be discovered. The artwork was treated with paper, a material we’re using since more than 8 years.
We’re addicted to it because it’s basic, and you can find it almost everywhere. Plus it has so many different colors, textures, opacities, weights…which makes it an incredible material to play with.”
