Wendy

With the winter months upon us, we are sharing the true beauty of Alpine nature at this time of year - when crisp blue skies meet the dark wood tones of the trees and the bright white of fallen snow. Made with FSC approved wood from controlled plantations only, our award submission (model ‘Wendy’ from our ‘Total Wood’ collection), takes bold sweeping curves that accentuate the beauty of the female face shape with an uplifting effect, adding a hint of asymmetry with a contrasting temporal colour block. We rarely find the human face to be symmetrical, each of your eyes irises are actually different too. FEB31ST use colour blocking to encourage the celebration of uniqueness and confidence in a bold and beautiful look.

Taking inspiration from winter, when the days are short and the nights long, we look for those moments that show us our world is an incredible place, and nature in particular has the power to stop you in your tracks with its natural beauty. ‘Wendy’, showcased here, has a front made predominantly with light blue, to represent the clear winter sky, and a temporal left corner colour block in the natural grey tones of our 3D wood grain. We chose 3D to represent the way the trees of the winter forest appear to jump out at you against the white background of a fresh snowfall. A contrasting light blue stripe running through the central wooden layers is sandwiched either side by a thin white stripe, representing the snow and to lift the overall frame structure and visually soften the chunky appearance. ‘Wendy’ is then finished with a teak wood grain rear surface, a nod towards the trees and the forests, bringing a natural warmth to the surface that touches the skin of the wearer.
