Not Yet Built

Manon Dave has a soft spot for things that do not exist yet.

His work moves between music, invention, product design and creative technology, but curiosity is the constant. A piano can respond to the movement of a finger. A car can become an instrument. A computer can teach a child how to build it. The first question is rarely whether an idea fits an existing category. It is what the idea could become if someone cared enough to make it real.

Manon follows projects from the first scribble through prototypes, engineering decisions and the moment another person can finally touch the result. Technology matters, but only when it gives human imagination somewhere new to go.

The sneaker reflects that restless construction. Colour, shape and layered panels meet like parts of an unfinished experiment that has found its form. The low-top silhouette keeps the design grounded and ready to move.

Not Yet Built is a title for the space before certainty, when an idea has no blueprint but already feels possible.
