The Design

About Orizzonte 01 Cartera Con Cremallera

Orizzonte 01 es una cartera con cremallera única e innovadora que combina piel de pescado y piel degradada para representar el mar y el cielo. El uso de pieles de pescado desechadas como cuero de pescado no sólo reduce el desperdicio sino que también añade una textura interesante al producto. La atención al detalle es evidente en la altura del espacio del monedero y el uso de cremalleras de alta calidad para una apertura y cierre suaves. El desafío creativo de lograr una hermosa gradación es impresionante y el resultado es un producto visualmente impresionante que permite a los usuarios llevar el paisaje consigo.

Behind the Design

Unique Properties: The concept is "Carry the scenery with you". The fish leather represents "the waves of the sea", while the gradient leather represents "the changing colours of the sky". The colour variations are named "L'ora blu (Blue Hour)"," L'ora magica (Magic Hour)" and "Il notturno (Night Scene)", with the sea and sky of each hour expressed in fish leather and gradient leather.
Dimensions & Packaging: W190×H90×D20mm
Fish leather:Skin of Sea bream
Gradient leather:Steerhide
Tags: Fish leather, Skin of Sea bream, Gradient leather, Calfskin, Wallet
Production Technology: Fish leather made from discarded fish skin and gradient leather dyed in layers of colour one by one using dyes. In addition, the edges are beautifully finished with high strength by Leather Edge Creaser.
Design Challenge: After continually searching for a way to achieve a beautiful gradation and repeatedly making samples, we were finally able to create a gradation leather that we were satisfied with.
Research: By making effective use of fish skin as fish leather, which would otherwise have been thrown away, the company believes it is possible to reduce the burden on the environment. In addition, the design not only uses fish leather, but also makes use of the fish scale pattern.
Inspiration: When I was fishing before dawn and saw the blue hour landscape, I noticed that the scale pattern on the fish leather resembled ocean waves and came up with the idea of a leather item that represents the sea with fish leather and the sky with gradient leather.
Project Duration: The project started in November 2021. Samples are completed in December 2022, with pre-orders starting in February 2023.
Operation Flow: The height of the coin purse space inside is adjusted in millimetres so that it does not move into the banknote compartment when the zipper is closed. Top-quality zippers for smooth opening and closing.
