Extended Ego

The concept behind this shoe collection is to transform footwear into sculptural and architecturally designed pieces. Each pair is a unique, handmade sculpture, inspired by the artistic works of Naum Gabo and the architectural designs of Santiago Calatrava.

High heels are emphasized as the central focal points, acting as “supporting poles” and defining the overall structure of the shoes. This design approach explores novel high heel shapes, resulting in numerous variations on their fundamental form. Each shoe model represents an experimental exploration of the high heel.

In the words of Bernard Figueroa, who once remarked; “There is so much space between a woman’s heel and the floor that one can use“, the entire concept revolves around maximizing the utilization of this space.

Architectural Shoe

draws inspiration from the constructions and architecture of Santiago Calatrava, emphasizing meticulous detail. These high heels are sculptural figures that command and define the shape of a shoe.

Linear Constructions

are inspired by Naum Gabo, and they embody the concept of levity, transparency, and intricate structure.

Wings / Variations

are guided by a preference for natural, organic shapes, compact forms, and distinctive sculptural and architectural details. The entire concept is based on a monocoque form.
