The Design

About Orizzonte 01 Portefeuille Zippé

Orizzonte 01 est un portefeuille zippé unique et innovant qui combine le cuir de poisson et le cuir dégradé pour représenter la mer et le ciel. L’utilisation de peaux de poisson jetées comme cuir de poisson réduit non seulement les déchets mais ajoute également une texture intéressante au produit. L'attention portée aux détails est évidente dans la hauteur de l'espace du porte-monnaie et dans l'utilisation de fermetures éclair de qualité supérieure pour une ouverture et une fermeture en douceur. Le défi créatif consistant à obtenir une belle gradation est impressionnant, et le résultat est un produit visuellement époustouflant qui permet aux utilisateurs d'emporter le décor avec eux.

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.

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.
