Memory in Making explores different ways to utilise memories, nostalgic storytelling and reminiscing in the design and making process in the hopes of facilitating emotional attachment to products and breaking down barriers between designers, makers and users. This rug is a case study for this process, created by exploring and recreating the sensory aspects of a childhood memory.
The rug references the location and sensory experiences of sneaking out of bed through its shape, with my sisters and my own footprints subtly carved into its surface, colour blocking alluding to light falling through doorways, and a hidden patch which creates subtle noise when stood on.
