First refinement: I strove to attain the desired shape with the use of interlocking flat sheets of plywood. I tended towards the use of wood because it would express the values of Sanuk and fit well with many of their existing store designs. By using wooden profiles, the speed of production would be extremely fast with the aid of CNC processes. This direction was changed when I discovered that the profiles would, in fact, be highly wasteful and inefficient.
