Arc

Arc is a carry on suitcase designed to use airplane overhead bin space more efficiently. One curved edge follows the inner curve of the overhead bin and fills space that is often left empty. The hard shell is vacuum formed from polycarbonate and is water resistant. A rotatable telescopic handle and spinner wheels that turn 360 degrees support movement in crowded airports. Three pull handles sit flush with the shell, and the bottom handle helps with lifting the suitcase in and out of the bin. A side pocket holds a laptop.

Shapes of Light

Shapes of Light is a series of woven cashmere scarves. The series includes three designs inspired by natural and urban scenes: the sunrise on the sea, building lights in the city at night, and soft moonlight in the evening. Illustration concepts were translated into geometric and minimal woven patterns to suit the requirements of weaving. Each scarf is dyed and woven in a Scottish mill, and the surface is raised with traditional hand-worked teasels for a soft finish. The aim is to turn a daily accessory into a wearable art piece.

Hitoe Fold Aria

Hitoe Fold Aria is a thin leather wallet designed for going out without a bag. A single layer structure keeps cards and coins from overlapping, so only four or five layers of leather meet. The wallet is about 9 mm thick and weighs about 33 grams when holding five bills and five cards. A triangular hook holds the stored cards and prevents them from falling out. Bills are inserted without folding, and a shallow coin pocket allows coins to be found quickly. Italian vegetable-tanned leather is used, and production takes place in Tokyo.

Butterfly Effect

Butterfly Effect is a multifunctional handbag made of high quality vegetal calfskin leather. The bag is handmade and combines geometrical shapes in two colors. Gold rivets join the shapes, and a hidden magnetic snap allows practical opening and closing. A folding and opening function changes the size and the form, so the handbag can be used as a casual accessory, a shoulder bag or a clutch for evening wear. A removable pouch of chamois leather is included. A leather handle with a chain allows the bag to be carried on the shoulder.
