This backpack reimagines the traditional Japanese Randosel for daily use. By removing its characteristic flap, the design features a silhouette composed of straight lines and curves. The ergonomic back panel is structured to provide support while maintaining a formal appearance. The exterior is simplified by removing pockets, and the opening is redesigned for easy access. This backpack aims to balance form with practical utility.
Magsafe is a magnetic phone grip designed for everyday mobile phone use. The grip has dual sided magnetic rings. The inner ring attaches to a phone or to a magnet compatible phone case. The outer ring holds the grip on car mounts, refrigerators, gym equipment and other metal surfaces. A smooth rotation mechanism allows angle adjustment and switching between portrait and landscape modes. The elastic woven strap is made of recycled polyester and suits different hand sizes. The body is 5 mm thick and weighs 37 grams.
Orizzonte 01 is a unique and innovative zip around wallet that combines fish leather and gradient leather to represent the sea and sky. The use of discarded fish skin as fish leather not only reduces waste but also adds an interesting texture to the product. The attention to detail is evident in the height of the coin purse space and the use of top-quality zippers for smooth opening and closing. The creative challenge of achieving a beautiful gradation is impressive, and the result is a visually stunning product that allows users to carry the scenery with them.
Ayla is a modular leather tote bag designed to last through multiple product life cycles. The bag is built from replaceable leather panels held together by detachable brass hinges, so no stitching is required. Each panel is placed between an outer hinge and an inner plate, then secured with pins and screws. A damaged panel can be replaced without discarding the whole bag. Predetermined patterns allow a salvaged panel to be remade into a smaller clutch. Full disassembly supports repair and reuse at the end of life.
This bag reimagines Kumihimo, which is a traditional Japanese braiding technique from the Edo period. By replacing stitching with durable braided cords, the design achieves both structural strength and flexibility. The minimalist form highlights the craftsmanship, while the structure embodies Musubi, the Japanese philosophy of spiritual and physical connection. This piece seamlessly integrates historical beauty into modern daily life, celebrating the bond between the object and its owner.
Luma is a backpack made using a patented 3D knitting process that reduces material waste and simplifies production. Unlike traditional cut and sew methods, this approach produces fully shaped components directly from digital patterns with minimal waste and labor. The backpack is constructed from single strands of 100% pre-consumer recycled nylon, helping to lower energy use, emissions, and material waste. Luma's design is informed by nature and aims to offer a balance of function and sustainability through a streamlined minimalistic form.
