The aim of my project is to create a collection of indoor hanging canopies with accompanying cushion designs for adults to experience ultimate comfort and sanctuary within. Unlike widely available children’s canopies I have incorporated features such as laser cut MDF panels to add a touch of luxury and maturity to my outcomes, which will be a fraction of the intended scale.
My final outcomes (not photographed below) will consist of three miniature canopies each with an accompanying cushion. Each canopy (A, B and C) has been inspired by a different studio Ghibli movie from which I found comfort as a child. I extracted and refined colour palettes taken from these three movies and used them to inform my designs.
Another inspiration for my project were the everyday items and random things I came cross whilst exploring the city of London. I photographed these weird magical objects and used them as a starting point for my drawings and later, my lino prints and digital development.
Movie Inspiration: Howl’s Moving Castle
Movie Inspiration – Arrietty
Movie Inspiration – Spirited Away
Cushions: (Top, B)( Mid, C)(Bottom, A)
