About Switchbag Kitapo lamosina

Ny Switch Bag dia teraka avy amin'ny fiantraikan'ny valanaretina niparitaka ary maneho ny lafiny roa amin'ny maha-olombelona. Ny aingam-panahy dia avy amin'ny maritrano sy ny mpanao sary hosodoko Mondrian. Tsotra sy mangina ny ivelany, mifanohitra amin'ny anatiny izay misy boaty mavivomavo sy maro loko. Ireo boaty miaraka amin'ny andriamby ireo dia azo hafindra sy ampifanarahana amin'ny filan'ny mpampiasa. Miova endrika ho kitapo lamosina izy, birao/trano mivajavaja, zavatra haingon-trano, na fitaovana fandaminana, ary mampifanaraka amin'ny tontolo samihafa, maneho ny faharetana takina amin'ny fotoan-tsarotra.

Tags: nomadbag, switchbag, nomadhome, organizer, handstitched, handmade, backpack, handbag
Production Technology: Handstitch and handmade with upcycled leather
Design Challenge: The difficult part was producing the molds for the object so that all the compartments fit perfectly into each other. Being an object made manually, there was also a challenge in relation to the material (leather) and its behavior.
Research: The research was based on how to transform a simple backpack into an up-to-date, beautiful and functional object that is adaptable and has multiple functions. It Involved design research, trends, 3D modeling, 2D modeling and 3 prototypes made and sew by hand.
Inspiration: Inspired by architectural geometrical forms and by Mondrian paintings. As Mondrian, that painted basic elements with straight lines and pure color, in order to reveal the mystical energy between the forces that governed nature and the universe, the magnetized and colored compartments of the Switch Bag disclose little worlds inside them.
Project Duration: The project started in June 2022 in Lisbon and is supported by the European Comission and Worth Project II and was exhibited at Design Milan Week in April 2023.
Operation Flow: The SwitchBag has a detachable interior boxes with magnets that allow its location and position to be modified and adapted to the user's needs. These boxes can also be used as decoration.
