Beads

Tomas Kroes

In the constant search for new materials ironing beads crossed my path. Everyone knows them, played with it before. And the possibilities are endless. We used them to make 2D shapes and explore color. But how does this material work in 3D shapes? Due to this question and during my research these shoes emerged.
