Eszter Pollermann

Budapest Metropolitan University

I completed my diploma project in 2024, where I had the opportunity to design and create shoes using natural materials. My goal is to continue working in this field, creating footwear that follows the principles of slow design while also being functional. I enjoy giving my creations a deeper message, so I strive to keep this design attitude in mind throughout my work.

I have set the goal of presenting the principles of recycling and environmental awareness, thus I am dealing in detail with the issue of tailoring waste, with special attention to leather as a raw material and the waste generated from it. In my material experiments, I worked with the layering of wood and leather, and my collection showcases the stages of the female gait, from unwearable products to comfortable footwear. I approached several companies that provided wood and leather waste for the completion of my project. I designed and created shoes that aim to present the process between materials and functionality, thus my series starts with single shoes and ends with a fully completed pair of comfortable and wearable shoes.
