Tornister (La POYA) leather bag 08/2009

This Tornister is a new interpreation of a traditional leather bag covered in cow fur and is my contribution to la POYA a project which stands for a transfer of traditional Swiss craftwork qualities into a contemporary context of product design. Aim is it to keep the old venerable handcraft, usage and materials of an object alive. A strong originality will be passed on into a framework of modern identification. The whole project is managed by Reto Zürcher and supported by small domestic enterprises, specialised on traditional manufacturing techniques. A commercial realisation is meant to be followed.
