Mesh/webbing

Hi everyone,
we have been discussing the issue about the mesh/webbing. i have started some initial design sketches and as you read this testing prototypes!
different strengths and flexibility of fabrics are being used to see if affects the structure/arches.

The first option from the sketch page goes with the first image of using single strands of elastic and tieing them together with another elastic weaving itself the other way.

The second option has the elastic on a grid order and is tied together with material.

The third option is creating a module that looks like chaos and repeating it again and again with elastics.

Option 2 looks really good, another option (option4) is the simplest, attaching a rubber band from one end to the other and doing so in a chriss cross kindof way...
