Birkenstock Reykjavik
The Design Process behind Birkenstock’s Reykjavik by Arno Marchand
Early sketch work exploring build and function with alternative enclosure systems. Materials were still being explored at this stage and through iterations and internal discussions the concept built on some initial cues worked out here in the important sketching phase.
Tech Specs are very important to get initial prototypes started and help create the ‘base, that we fine tune towards the final model.

Working directly with in-hand prototypes and making adjustments with final production techniques in mind.
