This is an experiment where I included electrical cables and wires into the rope making process. Through this process the rope is bendable and able to transport electricity – safely. In the pictures you can see a version with a bulb at the end. The rope changes over in to the cover of the bulb holder. I added also a plug and switch. The user is able to form it in any form.
My first product experiment is a stool, which is build as simple as possible. I used a simple weaving pattern, to create a fabric-like material. This furniture peace is build to prove the strength of the plastic ropes.
In the beginning of the Loveschool Project, I tried all kinds of different plastic bags to produce ropes. With time the ropes reached a better quality, I was able to expand their length and enhance the production speed, dramatically through the use of electrical engines.
