|
The present study highlights part of a research done in the field of surfaces design which is inserted
in the main area of inclusive fashion design and has the objective of finding materials to develop
textures for people with visual difficulty. During the research of materials that would attend the
requirements of the project and also be sustainable, an alternative printing in discarded tires rubber
was developed in partnership with craftsmen from the city of Ipuaçu, SC. These craftsmen already
produce furniture with used tires, which made possible to acquire the necessary knowledge for
handling the rubber. As analysis result, the project unites sustainability and design in the generation
of knowledge and improves the quality of life for visually impaired people or people with visual
difficulty in a material that may be applied in a variety of objects that are used in people’s lives. |
