Artist and designer Dominic Wilcox and his Fields installation is set to go instore at Selfridges from next week until 15th September. This is his third collaboration with Terra Plana, a reinterpretation of his successful Field installation in 2009 at the London Design Festival and at Entratalibera during the Salone del Mobile in Milan in 2010 (pictured below). The installation aims to breathe life into the simple, inanimate shoe, making a connection with nature whilst referencing the lives of the absent owners. The shoe laces of over six hundred eco-friendly shoes rise up into the air as though growing towards...

There are some stone cold classics in there, as well as some unexpected entries. No Nike AM1, but the important thing is that the Jordan III made it. Oh, and Terra Plana and New Balance make an appearance too! Take a look HERE. www.stapledesign.com...

One of them is Field, an installation made from over 500 eco-friendly Terra Plana shoes and 'grass' laces that rise into the air as if reaching for the light. The installation seeks to explore issues of ecology and sustainability - which also happen to be the founding principles of Terra Plana. It's a pretty good match if you ask me. The Terra Plana shoe featured is the Pop: The Pop was chosen by Wilcox because unlike most...
