Hi! I would like to invite you for a little brainstorm. The task says: What processes, activities can you simplify or create with the use of rope? One of the paths would be to take already existing products and making them more functional with the use of rope
Examples: “hot shoe camera handle,” cable organizer, transporting large sheets of cardboard, additional handle for IKEA watering can, transporting several wines at once. Any ideas are welcome. Thanks!
Check out Marcel Wanders knotted chair.
You can go further and create a standing rope ladder just using reinforced rope.
You can silicone dip it. Make it into a pendant light fixture.
Infuse it with carbon holding silicone to make a giant stretch/bend sensor network for a smart trampoline.
Decorative phone cover linings. Capybara rope pulling contests.
I don’t have a good application for you, but I’ve always been fascinated by the monkey fist: Monkey's fist - Wikipedia
I think a lot of traditional rope-craft could be an interesting inspiration for decoration… Thinking of the coin knot as well as stuff like shibari. Maybe cool applied to footwear in the vein of nike’s flywire.
