Memory Web

The 'Memory Web', inspired by Edra's wire chair, is a bent wire structure, giving the user a unique medium in which memories can be stored such as photos, notes, trinkets, momentos, or anything that jogs a memory of that special time. As a means of 3D scrap booking, the Memory Web attempts to steer away from the box enclosed structure of the very common shadow box offering greater interactivity and appeal to the object storing the memories. The design is as such that multiple Memory Webs can be placed together and still look like the same web.

The Memory Web is made to be hung on a wall; the objects are quite firmly kept between the areas where the wire presses on it self. It is made of one 20 metre piece of steel wire bent around, and spot welded in only a few key areas. The Memory Web is painted black and is the new classic contempory way for storing memories, that would otherwise be left under a bed or in a drawer to be gradually forgotten.

i liked the idea of the memory web because although it looks like a bit of a mess on the wall, it looks pretty artsy so it makes for a good addition to any type of room. The colour makes it look tangled but this also allows the user to place their stuff anywhere they want on the product.
The only thing i would like to change is the fact that there has to be some way to organize the stuff put on the product. When it is filled, it will look like a large stack of paper on the wall.
I think this is original enough that i would buy it though so good job.

Dave i really like you're product. i tihnk its actually a really well thought out idea. Looking around my desk now i have photos, pamphlets, books and cds meshed into one giant pile of god knows what. your product would be a great way to store all these items in a way which i could then view to others. I believe that your product would be a great conversation starter for friends or family coming to your house and you could individual 'memory webs' for different periods of your life say for trips overseas or wahtever. on fault i think is that you could have used a more emotive colour than black. i can see how effective the memory web looks when its against a white wall but when it is filled with photos etc the back cannot be seen so it would be nice to use a bright colour so the frame and form is still visable. great work
