Design and development of limited-edition collaboration poncho with famed New York design studio Snarkitecture, founded by multi-disciplinary artist Daniel Arsham. The Arrivals x Snarkitecture Element Poncho integrated an a-line minimalist exterior with a highly articulated interior utility system of laser-cut pockets with specific usages (dry-bag iphone pockets with a water-proof earphone jack, keychain latches, pen and notebook pockets) and convertible features and co-branded trims.
The heat-sealed and lasercut poncho was developed and produced in NYC using the country's most innovative factory, utilizing heat-seal tapes, transfers, films and laser cutting.
Example of a multi-page heat-seal and laser-cutting instruction manual for assembly of the technical poncho.
The Arrivals x Snarkitecture Element poncho was sold at a collaboration popup located at 2 Rivington St in Nolita, NYC in April 2016.
Heat-sealing and laser-cutting mockups made by hand in-studio to best test application methods and placements.
