Workshop with Tobias Luthe.
Learning about Systemic Design by building Fjell skis
The design brief was to design, engineer and build Mountain skis, traditional Norwegian Nordic skis for the use in tracked or untracked snowy terrain, from the flats to medium steep mountains. It involved to partly quantify the material and primary energy footprint of the used materials and processes during the building process. The design brief included to eco-optimize the ski design and reduce their material footprint on the environment.
The graphic design is inspired by an area called Selbu, Which is right next to where I was born and raised. This area is known for its rich patterns and traditional mittens. The patterns are inspired from different types of Selbu mittens.
