Lateral thinking

René van den Berg

The first sculpture of my ‘OH. MY. EVOLUTION’ collection, 2017.

This shoe-inspired collection is based upon shoe designs I have made over the past 25 years.

Material: carbon fiber and PU hard foam with a medial side that resembles the foot while the lateral side has no relation to a shoe at all.

Lateral thinking is solving problems through an indirect and creative approach, using reasoning that is not immediately obvious and involving ideas that may not be obtainable by using only traditional step-by-step logic. The term was promulgated in 1967 by Edward de Bono.
