About Olka 無縫製バッグ
オルカは、イランにおける不可逆的な移住にインスパイアされた、手作りの無縫製レザーバッグです。54枚のモジュラー式牛革パーツが互いに連結されて構成されており、レザーにレーザーでカットされたスリットを通して編み込まれています。サイズは220×220×80mmです。バッグのハンドルはウォールナット材で作られています。オルカはペルシャ語で「故郷」を意味します。今日、イランの若者たちはより良い生活を求めて故郷を離れていきますが、移住は彼らの心、魂、そして身体にさえ亀裂をもたらします。しかし、すべての亀裂は新たな美しい花を生み出す契機となるのです。

- Unique Properties
- Leather is a durable material, but usually the threads used to sew leather crafts, lose their quality sooner than leather, so creating the seamless leather bags can be effective in increasing its quality. Olka is non-stitched, the modular leather pieces are interlocked together, which increases the speed of production, and if needed for repair, the damaged piece can be easily replaced with a new one. It even gives the possibility to the user to order the bag in separate pieces and make her own.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- The dimension of Olka is 220*220*80 millimeter.

- Research
- In the process of design and creation, research was done in the field of interlocking system, modular system, consumer behavior, DIY products and the migration rate of youth Iranian which finally resulted in the creation of this project.
- Inspiration
- According to reports of 2022, about 50% of Iranian students and entrepreneurs have desired to emigrate from their country and 62% have not decided to return back. Olka means homeland in Persian language and it was created by the inspiration of Iranian youth who immigrate with the aim of creating a better life. Migration brings mental, emotional and even physical pains, but pain is an opportunity for growth. In this case, every slit provides the basis for creating a new beautiful flower.
- Project Duration
