The color combinations between the body and zipper create a distinctive yet elegant appearance.
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.
The Switch Bag is born from the pandemic's impact and mirrors the dual facets of human nature. It was inspired by architecture and the painter Mondrian. The outside of this object is minimal and silent, contrasting with the interior which has vibrant and colorful boxes. These boxes equipped with magnets can be moved and adapted to the user's needs. It morphs into a backpack, an office/nomadic home, a home decor object, or an organizer and adapts to diverse environments, echoing the resilience demanded in tough times.
The Three Worlds One Heart handbag collection explores the intersection of heritage storytelling and modern design. The handbags are developed as narrative objects, translating cultural influences from three regions into patterns, forms and color palettes. Crafted from plant based leather alternatives and printed natural textiles, each handbag balances functionality with emotional depth. The collection emphasizes timeless design, local production and the role of the handbag as a personal carrier of memory and movement.
The card case has a beautiful design that showcases the unique and eco-friendly fish leather material. The concept of carry the scenery with you is elegantly portrayed through the use of fish leather to represent the sea waves and gradient leather to reflect the changing colors of the sky. The traditional Japanese bellows manufacturing technique of Fu-kin-machi is employed to create a sleek and easily insertable card case. The use of discarded fish skin as fish leather is an innovative and sustainable approach that contributes to reducing environmental waste.
Suburbia is a duffel bag designed for short business trips. The outer shell uses green RPET fabric made from recycled plastic bottles, and the fabric is water resistant and wear resistant. The front panel and both sides are shaped with EVA one piece molding technology, which creates a pressure resistant three dimensional form inspired by modern architecture and sculpture. The base has three layers of thickened fabric for cushioning. The interior includes a padded laptop sleeve, a wet zone and a shoe compartment. The muted hazy blue colour suits many settings.
