Making Story
This is the solid Usubeni (light pink) version of the four tabletop case prototypes with handles. I took on this shape inspired by the work of a craft enthusiast in Taiwan.
This prototype also gave me an unexpected lesson about color. The actual color is Usubeni, but in photographs it can look almost brown, a reminder of how strangely color behaves between physical material and digital images.
After making two (actually three) solid color pieces, I started exploring what would happen with two colors, and what would happen if the warp and weft were different colors. In the end I made five prototypes in parallel. My main goal was to find out how quickly I could produce the same shape by making them simultaneously.
For all of them I wove the body first and attached the handles afterwards. My main regret is that the handles do not have any inner core, so they came out a little uneven. I had wanted a rounder shape.
The finished pieces revealed a clear lesson: easy to make but somehow lacking, in need of more refinement. Even so, watching ideas in my head take physical form is genuinely enjoyable. Imagining what the material can become and then making it real involves plenty of failures, but the joy at the moment of completion is enormous.
Of the tabletop case prototypes with handles, only one piece in Usubeni was made.
