In the first of our series of interviews with designers presenting their work at Dezeen Platform at Dezeen Space, architect Julian Hakes talks about his Mojito Shoe, which has no footplate and wraps around the wearer’s foot in a single ribbon.

Hakes first showed the shoe on Dezeen in 2009 and it also features in the Dezeen Book of Ideas, which you can order online or buy in person at Dezeen Space.

Each day, for 30 days, a different designer will use a one metre by one metre space to exhibit their work at Dezeen Space. We’ll publish interviews with the designers on Dezeen Screen over the coming weeks. See the full lineup for Dezeen Platform here.
