-crumple- tote
◎ About -crumple-
-crumple- means "to crumple".
Following the -FOLD- series, this time too, I was inspired by the characteristics of "paper".
When crumpling paper, the behavior may seem intentional at first glance, but if you look at each of the wrinkles in it, you'll see that they're happening outside of our intentions.
We are not aiming to wrinkle it.
Wrinkles bring results that are independent of our will.
This time, we evaluate the given result as a design.
It is a kind of generative design (algorithmic design).
In addition, the wrinkles also have an irreproducible live performance.
It is impossible to unfold a piece of crumpled paper and return it to exactly the same state.
◎ Work description
In order to make the best use of the characteristics of the crumple fabric, we have created a special pattern that creates a gap between the front and back fabrics. Even if you put something in it, the outer material has plenty of space, so the wrinkle feeling is maintained. A tote bag with a size that fits A4 files and a 13-inch laptop. I aimed for a width that is not too thin and not too thick. Even with a laptop computer in it, you can store a charging cable, about two new books, and a folding umbrella. The length of the handle is adjusted so that it is easy to use whether you are holding it or hanging it on your shoulder. The handle is made of leather, and the more you use it, the softer it becomes, and the more you enjoy using it for a long time. Old handles can be replaced, so if you wish, please request from here . The crumple series is light and can be rolled into small pieces due to the characteristics of the fabric, making it convenient for storage.
