The Pillow Bag

This project really focused and encompassed the world of intimacy. Rather than creating something that was very clearly linked to intimacy, I wanted it to be a subtle but understandable reference. I began thinking about intimacy, and instead of thinking about it in such a sexual nature, I thought of it as a more vulnerable, romantic and passionate connection between people. A bed is a clear place of intimacy, but is also soft, protective and comforting. I began to look at the the way a pillow becomes distorted when a rope is tied around it, it pulled in and wrinkled, I really liked the look. I tried out different types of Shibari ties around it and landed on the final design that has bee submitted. This design incorporates the use of Lamb Nappa, for its soft and tactile qualities. The contrast between the coarse Shibari rope and soft leather works really well together.
