The Refined Trail.

Nature’s Influence on Wild Camping.
Context

Inspired by the natural beauty and moments of simplicity experienced on hikes and backpacking trips, this series transforms everyday objects into art, using materials typically reserved for outdoor adventures. Tents, technical fabrics and weather-resistant gear are reimagined to capture the essence of nature — wild, yet serene. 

Each object evokes the textures and colours encountered in the wilderness, all while showcasing the durability and functionality of high-performance materials in a novel way.

This collection celebrates the intersection of nature and human innovation, turning technical fabrics into symbols of exploration and bringing us back to a sense of simplicity.

Concept

Embracing the outdoors, whatever your location may be and whatever the weather may throw at us, is a well known way of improving mental and physical health. 

Through the merging of structures here - man-made tents with insect and fungi forms - can remind us that we are able to be a part of the wildnerness, to incorporate it into our lives. We are also gently reminded to literally tread carefully, to respect the outdoors and to help protect it too. 

The strength lies in the unity of human kind and the natural world.
