The Design

About Diana Kott

Kotil on alati kaks funktsiooni: panna asju enda sisse (nii palju, kui sinna võiks toppida) ja kena välja näha, kuid mitte põhimõtteliselt selles järjekorras. See kott vastab mõlemale soovile. See on ainulaadne ja erineb teistest kottidest selle valmistamiseks kasutatud materjalide kombinatsiooni tõttu: pleksiklaasid, millele on kinnitatud tekstiilkott. Kott on oma vormilt väga arhitektuuriline, lihtne ja puhas, kuid sellegipoolest funktsionaalne. Oma konstruktsioonis on see austuseks Bauhausile, tema maailmavaatele ja meistritele, kuid siiski on see väga kaasaegne. Tänu pleksiale on see väga kerge ja selle läikiv pind köidab tähelepanu.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties: The bag has always two functions: to put things inside - as much as it could be stued into and to look nice but not essentialy in that order.This bag meets both requests.
It is unique and different from the other bags because of the combination of materials used for making it: plexiglas with textile bag attached. The bag is very architectural, simple and clean in its form but the function is not forgotten.
Dimensions & Packaging: The black bag presented here is 50 cm long, 20 cm high and 3 cm wide. It is just one of the bags from the collection. All the bags in the collection are made the same way, but they differ in shape, size and color. Each bag is packed in an orange - pink protective pouch which is closed with the orange bow.

Production Technology: The bag is made out of two plexiglas plates and the textile bag attached between the plates at their inner side. Use of plexiglas makes the bag light and the inner textile bag makes it possible to put more things in it than one would expect.
Design Challenge: The hardest part of the activity was the technical one. Being a “one-man band” requires contacts with many experts in different fields of work in order to find the right solution.
Research: The research consisted of several steps:
1. Ergonomic - creating the right dimension of the handle and its position for comfortable carrying the bag
2. Technical - selecting materials used for the inner bag and finding the way to connect the bag to the plexi.
3. Artistic - Designing different types of bags any varying its colors
Inspiration: I have a very clear vision of what I want so I often design things and jewelry I wear as well as the space I live in.
One day I bought beautiful shoes and couldn’t find the matching bag. Since I am making lumino-kinetic objects as well as necklaces out of plexiglas, it was my logical choice of the material for the bags. I like plexi, its bright colors and shiny surface. The idea was born in a second but the realization has lasted because of the technical issues.
Project Duration: I have started with the realization in November of 2012 in Zagreb, Croatia, and it have finished it at the beginning of February 2013.
Operation Flow: This bag is very simple to use: the attached textile bag has a zipper so it can be easily opened and closed - by the owner , but at the same time it is safe from thieves. There is no other interaction or transformation. You carry it and you are noticed and you like it!
