‘PUSHING FORWARD THE
BOUNDARIES OF SUSTAINABLE AVANT GARDE DESIGN’.
For this collaboration,
we were contacted by Pinqponq to re-design two of their iconic backpacks, to
give a new perspective on sustainability.
Our concept was to turn sustainability into a visible design element, instead of just a press release. We worked with leftover scraps from their production process, using the unique and unexpected shapes to create a new graphic layer for their products. They were especially interested in the way we would treat their materials with our raw patchwork ways of working. Whilst their industrial manufacturing and our handmade design might at first sight be a contradiction, we wanted to highlight how the two can come together.
Our goal was to create a unique product for fashion conscious world citizens who want to express a creative mindset, without losing the functionality of the product.
We reworked two bags: Blok Large and Tetrik.
Next to that, we came up with the concept for the photoshoot that took place on three locations in the city of Amsterdam: the ‘polder’ landscape, our studio and the center of Amsterdam with the well-known canal houses as a background.
As an addition, we designed three one-of-a-kind outfits, made out of the same materials and with the same construction as the bags, to blend garment and wearable accessory into one total composition.
The bags were sold online and offline throughout Europe.
