Med industrijo in ročnim delom nastaja prostor, kjer se danes dogaja oblikovanje.

Na dogodku ROKODELCI × OBLIKOVALCI: v sklopu serije Transformativna partnerstva v MAO Slovenija, pod okriljem Centre for Creativity in Obrtno-podjetniška zbornica Slovenije / Chamber of Craft and Small Business of Slovenia, sem govorila tudi o tem.

Kot oblikovalka od leta 2018 v svojo prakso zavestno vnašam principe tradicionalne pletarske obrti. Na dogodku sem predstavila svoje dolgotrajno sodelovanje s slovenskimi pletarji iz različnih lokalnih okolij, kot proces, ki presega zgolj prenos znanja in odpira prostor za eksperiment in razvoj.

V sodobnem oblikovanju je vse bolj prisoten premik k vključevanju rokodelskih praks kot relevantnega oblikovalskega orodja. Ne gre zgolj za revitalizacijo dediščine, temveč za razvoj novih hibridnih pristopov, kjer ročno delo vstopa v dialog z industrijo, raziskovanjem materialov, trajnostjo in sodobnimi produkcijskimi modeli. Rokodelske tehnike tako postajajo nosilke inovacije, ne kot nostalgija, ampak kot metoda za razvoj izdelkov z močno identiteto, sledljivostjo in kulturno vrednostjo.

V predstavitvi se naslanjam na konkretne projekte
