The Tassle-Sash

The Tassel-Sash was commissioned by Lina Zedig, a designer, good friend, and something of an inspiration. The design grew out of our discussions of utility and uselessness, of letting a sense of the absurd overtake a demand for the practical. I came up with a plan for an oversized key fob, scaled up to human scale ; it overtakes the thing it began life augmenting, envelops it, and becomes a strange thing in it’s own right.. MT
