I found two round wood sticks form the ends of a billboard that I will use in my collection.
Originaly I was planning to try out wood bending for the frame but then I thought that I don't want to waste the sticks, because I think that they are as good.
The frame works well, I made joints in the ends that the construction would be more stable, placed a piece of triangular EVA (shoe sole material) in the corners and covered it with leather.
The idea of the frame is not to carry much weight, but to give support to the blanket-bag. The fastening system ( a loop, the heavyer the bag is the more it closes) will carry the weight. Putting the ends of the rope between the layers of the blanket and guiding them under the frame will create shoulder straps.
The blanket-bag represents a concept.
It is one of the many ways how it is possible to use a blanket, it is multifunctional and I believe that multifunctionality is a form of sustainable design.
Imagine asking your beloved out for a picnic, having a nice meal and a few glasses of wine on the blanket in a park or by the sea. During the evening it gets colder and it's nice to walk home, warm blanket covering the couples' shoulders. Arrived at home, the frame can be hung up on a wall as a decoration in a hallway and the blanket can be taken to the living room to keep the feet warm while watching a movie.
