Mont-Blanc

Marina Chedel

Part of the โ€˜Over the peakโ€™ collection, 2016.

Chedel drew her inspiration from the Swiss Alps, where she grew up ‘surrounded by crampons, snap hooks and ropes.’ The sandals are embedded on vertiginous, plinth-like platform soles, in turn asymmetrical, slanting or crenelated like mountain peaks, ‘to give the feeling of ascending, of reaching a summit or experiencing a gradient’s steepness.’

Material: leather, pinewood, paracord, metal pieces and hardwear.
