About Orizzonte 02 Cùis Cairt

Tha dealbhadh brèagha air a’ chùis cairt a tha a’ taisbeanadh an stuth leathar èisg gun samhail agus càirdeil don àrainneachd. Tha am bun-bheachd mu bhith a’ giùlan na seallaidhean leat air a riochdachadh gu grinn tro bhith a’ cleachdadh leathar èisg gus tonnan na mara agus leathar caisead a riochdachadh gus dathan caochlaideach nan speur a nochdadh. Thathas a’ cleachdadh an dòigh saothrachaidh traidiseanta closach Iapanach de Fu-kin-machi gus cùis cairt caol a tha furasta a chuir a-steach a chruthachadh. Tha cleachdadh craiceann èisg air a thilgeil mar leathar èisg na dhòigh ùr-ghnàthach agus seasmhach a chuireas ri lughdachadh sgudal àrainneachd.

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)" and "Il notturno (Night Scene)", with the sea and sky of each hour expressed in fish leather and gradient leather.
Dimensions & Packaging

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
Using the traditional Japanese bellows manufacturing technique of "Fu-kin-machi," we have created a thin, easy-to-insert business card case.
