Copine is the outcome of experimentation with two materials: Leftover copper wire and natural pine needles, which both have antiviral properties in the search of a new textile. A dedicated loom was built to execute this novel weaving technique, creating a constructive yet flexible textile with a shiny natural look. The handbag was created with one pre-planned sheet of woven material with no excess or waste. Exhibited in Milan Design Week 2024
