Spin-offs .
OS shoe soles is an OS compatible version of the 'Don't run' concept shoes by Eugenia
Morpurgo & Juan Montero, in collaboration with Sophia
Guggenberger.
This new OS piece comes as a double-layered, dismountable shoe
sole, in which some of the connection points and parts are designed
from the OS grid.
As the whole shoe is designed for disassembly it can be easily
taken apart into silicon assembly buttons, a number of perforated
rubber sheets (the soles), a rope and a piece of
leather.
As most perforations are OS compatible (see red dots on the
shoe sole), all of these individual components can be recombined
with existing OS parts (probably after some cutting) in order to be
reused in new OS objects.

The shoe production itself is reduced
to only a few very simple assembly steps.The use of rapid
manufacturing machines, like lasercutters, within a simplified
assembly process will transfer shoe production lines from factory
floors to the streets. The customer, viewer or citizen will become
an active participant, engaging in production and, in doing so,
playing an important role in the making of his or her own
pair of shoes.
