Lo Res

Posted by marieClairvoyant on Sep 7, 2010 in ed's note | 2 comments

I have just returned dear Clairvoyant ones from a small holiday in Greece and London a little more nut brown than when I left and much, much calmer. I was wondering through the delights of Spitalfields and Brick Lane on the weekend in London and came upon the United Nude pop up store. My heart went kerthump – clever architecture meets shoe design and moreover the prices where fantastically sale friendly.

United nude was launched in 2003 by Rem D Koolhaas the Dutch architect  and Galahad Clark the British shoe designer and has evolved into a collective of architects, designers, editors, photographers and artists – and they give some really good shoe. Here’s the pair I fell for. It’s called Lo Res and “is part of a new semi-automatic design method …where an object is digitally scanned into a 3D computer model and regenerated into various resolutions. The Lo Res shoe is part of of an automated design revolution.”  Fancy.
