For this final year project, I wanted to study objects that have withstood the test of time thanks to their intelligent design. These objects, with their distinctive characteristics, have barely changed or not at all since they were first created. I initially selected several objects, such as a paper clip, a bar, a key ring, etc… The idea was then to transpose the many qualities of these objects to an unexpected end.
I was particularly interested in the ring’s resistance and ease of handling. These are qualities that I thought would be interesting to transpose onto bags. These bags are designed to be made in one piece, without seams or glue. Combined with leather, the ring takes on a new meaning. Thanks to this type of fastening, the bags created become objects that can be assembled in any way and are fun to handle. Handling is at the heart of my project, and it is important to me that people can make the object their own through the act of assembling it.
