The Design

About Orizzonte 02 Estui per Cartas

L'estui per cartas presenta un bèl design que mòstra lo material unic e ecologic del cuir de peis. Lo concèpte de portar lo paisatge amb tu es elegantament representat gràcias a l'usatge del cuir de peis per representar las ondas de la mar e del cuir degradat per refletar los colors cambiants del cèl. La tecnica tradicional japonesa de fabricacion en suflet Fu-kin-machi es empleada per crear un estui per cartas esvelt e facil d'inserir. L'utilizacion de pèl de peis rebutjada coma cuir de peis es un acòst innovant e durablel que contribuís a redusir los degalhs ambientals.

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: W110×H75×D15mm
Fish leather:Skin of yellowtail
Leather:Steerhide
Tags: Fish leather, Skin of Yellowtail, Gradient leather, Steerhide, Card Case
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.
