Door no. 4, the final one

This door has been kept in its raw, unpolished, worn out condition and we have used the stuff we found around the workshop and in the garbage to create this rugged, industrial piece.

And a finished, cleaned up Doors no. 1 & 3

Door no. 3

We are thinking more on the lines of taking an ordinary moment of arrival and entrance and turning it into an experience.
To this goes our Door no. 3 as a tribute to the philosophy of finding surprises in everyday ordinary things :)

Door No. 2

There we were again, Golnar and I, coming up with a new idea for another door. It was piano keys this time and we used chalkboard paint so the door is not just looking interesting but also has another use for it :)

Doors no. 3 and 4 coming soon...

Door no. 1

Habitat for Humanity has a Restore location in Etobicoke and they have a project to redesign old doors. They have involved artists and students to give new life to them. 25 doors will be selected and taken on a tour around Canada and then will be auctioned off.

Three of us from Humber (Golnar, Raya, Masooma) have been volunteering for this project and for our first door we have a Piet Mondrian inspired design that we have been working on. This is his work that we used for our inspiration:

We picked a simple plain door for our design and an acrylic sheet we found in the store and used whatever paints they had and a permanent marker for the black lines (yes, a marker). The idea was to paint the design on the acrylic sheet and turn it around and glue it/attach it on the door so the design is viewed through the acrylic giving it a bit of a dimension. Also combining inspiration from Oki Sato's lecture at the IDS, we decided to keep the design a bit off the centre and the visual weight also off balance. Here's a bit of our process below:

Here's hoping it turns out to be as we are planning it!
