Martí Guixé for Camper. Products for restless walkers

DESIGN SPRING 1999

From April 8 to May 8, 1999.

After redesigning one of the most popular pleasures of our palate, bread with tomato, to turn it into SPAMT, this designer dares to bring out for Camper a collection of objects for walking. From soothing foot tea, to a scarf that can be purchased by the meter for long walks around the city in winter.

“In the future, both the virtual world and the real world will flourish. The former is the domain of Internet surfers and the latter the realm of those who wander restlessly through the streets of big cities. The requirement for the first group is software and for the second, footwear,” says Guixé. 

The products on display, all manufactured by the Camper company, have some relation to the foot, the shoe or the act of walking, and aim to offer an improvement, whether functional, cultural or intellectual, to the conventional products of the footwear industry.
