The Design

About Orizzonte 01 A Carteira Zip Around

Orizzonte 01 é unha carteira con cremalleira única e innovadora que combina coiro de peixe e coiro degradado para representar o mar e o ceo. O uso de pel de peixe descartada como coiro de peixe non só reduce o desperdicio senón que engade unha textura interesante ao produto. A atención aos detalles é evidente na altura do espazo da moeda e no uso de cremalleiras de alta calidade para unha apertura e peche suaves. O reto creativo de lograr unha fermosa gradación é impresionante e o resultado é un produto visualmente abraiante que permite aos usuarios levar a paisaxe consigo.

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.
