2016 // ROBINSON BAG FEAT. UPSIDE DOWN
Robinson Bag is an innovative waterproof bag/backpack concept for 13 inch laptops/notebooks made from recycled polyplan.
The first inovation involves a different approach on conceiving the removable outer pockets as alternate suplimentary storage spaces which simplfies the succession of gestures in case ofsearching an item in the bag. Furthermore, as the concept implies, the product is wearable without extrapockets as an usual bag.
The second innovation involves an ingenious solution regarding the possibility to place the coffe cup directly on the bag’s flap through pre cut X shape as some daily life situations require such as urban crowds during peak hours on bus, metro or streets when the user has one of his hands unavailable.
Inspired by the backpack’s rubber pouch for headphones the bag’s flap eficiently offers a good depository sliding area for the coffe cup which is easely leaned on the bag without overturning.
2016 // INTERCOMS FROM THE TOUCHLINE SERIES FEAT. ELECTRA
