The Portico hat is inspired by the notion of fluid architecture, expressed through the geometry of minimalist cables travelling over simple rib. The effect becomes more dramatic when the hat is worn, as the cables slightly pull the rib columns towards them, opening up the fabric much like a portico.
The hat is worked bottom up and features a foldable brim.
