We worked with the metaphor of
dancing and how our body
behaves when it moves. this led to
experimentation with two types of
mechanisms; the first prototype
followed the scissors logic, while
the later one (and final) followed
the compass logic. This typology of
object allowed us to translate
dance movements like spin and pivot, drag and drag across
(sliding along the floor) onto an
open typographical stroke and
structure. It was important for us
to show the coordination and
movement of two that becomes
one – hence we chose to maintain
the final output as an open stroke
