*Design should reflect a makers feelings and values

*In order to provoke desired values, empathetic design is vital.

*An item or artifact should be both environmentally and culturally sustainable and must consider longevity and methods of disassembly

*All use of material should be thoroughly justified to be sure of it’s use

Project Maison - In the hopes of sourcing most of our soft surface through scraps, we reached out to the school Cégep Marie-Victorin fashion department. Every year, the textile scraps that do not get used by the students are kept and put aside waiting to be reclaimed. Our trip to the college resulted in finding canvas, felt, wool, cotton, silk -chiffon, fur, etc.
