About Switchbag Арка сумкасы

Switch Bag пандемия йогынтысы нәтиҗәсендә барлыкка килде һәм кеше табигатенең ике ягын чагылдыра. Ул архитектура һәм рәссам Мондриан ижаты белән рухландырылган. Бу әйбернең тышкы өлеше минималь һәм тыныч, эчке өлешендә исә җанлы һәм төсле тартмалар урнашкан. Магнитлар белән җиһазландырылган бу тартмаларны кулланучы ихтыяҗларына карап күчереп һәм көйләп була. Ул арка сумкасына, офис/күчмә йортка, өй бизәү әйберенә яки оештыручыга әверелә һәм төрле шартларга җайлаша, авыр вакытларда таләп ителгән чыдамлылыкны чагылдыра.

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.
