The Design

About Orizzonte 02 Estojo De Cartão

O estojo para cartão tem um belo design que mostra o material de couro de peixe exclusivo e ecológico. O conceito de levar o cenário com você é retratado com elegância através do uso de couro de peixe para representar as ondas do mar e couro gradiente para refletir as mudanças de cores do céu. A tradicional técnica japonesa de fabricação de fole Fu-kin-machi é empregada para criar um estojo de cartão elegante e facilmente inserível. A utilização de pele de peixe descartada como couro de peixe é uma abordagem inovadora e sustentável que contribui para a redução do desperdício ambiental.

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.

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.
