Dance Shoes for Father and Daughter

dance shoes by company

Finnish design­ers Aamu Song and Johan Olin visit fac­to­ries and crafts­men in Ger­many, South Korea and Fin­land, see what they’re capa­ble of pro­duc­ing, and then design prod­ucts that cor­re­late with the skill set of the man­u­fac­tur­ers. Rather than let­ting these tra­di­tional fac­to­ries die out, they pro­pose to take charge of the skills already out there to cre­ate new products.

Under the name Com­pany, Song and Olin have acheived won­drous results by tak­ing this approach. My per­sonal favorite (pic­tured above) “Dance Shoes, For the Father and the Daugh­ter,” were designed for a Finnish felt factory.

  10. I don’t see any rea­son why they couldn’t be, this just hap­pens to be the theme cho­sen by the designer. Good point!
