During the last century, the bag has developed mainly within the fashion sphere.As one more complement of clothing and part associated with the name of well -known luxury brands.However, as an object that can be designed that it is, it is feasible to address it from other related branches.Hence the initiative of the new collection of bags and wallets created by renowned architects and furniture designers, produced by the UP to You Anthology (UTY) firm, linked to the reputed Milanese company Deposedova.

Specialized in furniture design, in the eighties of the last century, by Maddalena de Padova, she began as a contemporary furniture editor collaborating with the big names of the moment: Achille Castiglioni, Vico Magistretti or Dieter Rams.While the firm since the fifties appeared in the sector importing the best Scandinavian furniture.

The new adventure of manufacturing luxury bags links with its exquisite furniture collection, where leather is one of De Padova's identity.To which adds flexibility to establish collaborations with a very diverse cast of creators.

Project

Unlike the brand bag, it expands creativity to a diversified group of architects and designers

From this position, unlike the brand bag, the creativity expands a diversified group of architects and designers, with a profiling to ask questions about the use we make of the most varied objects that surround us.If you usually face large containers such as a home, or medium such as a closet or comfortable, in this case they face a laptop of much smaller dimensions.A change of scale that requires despite a detailed project.

From UTY they assure that the value of his collection competes with that of the big luxury brands because he combines the free thinking of individualities with a lot of talent and the high quality crafts made in Italy.“The reflection of creativity, the background and personality of the designer, which by definition is unique -they approve -generates a new aesthetics.The purchase process also creates a direct, personal and intimate connection with the creator of the bag.This establishes a solid designer-user relationship that exceeds the canonical limits marked by classical fashion brands ”.

Fashion, and furniture design and accessories for the house have been crossing their paths for a long time.Especially from the side of the great fashion houses, which edit collections for the home covered by the resonance of their brand.Although sometimes it is more of styles than innovative design.In the case of UTY, the crossing is oppositely, and the rules of the game according to the sphere of contemporary furniture, where a brand gains prestige not so much by the name of a venerated creator, but by the set of designers who collaborate withShe and the coherence that injected into her collection, promoting the coexistence of very diverse creative genius.

The approach to the bag or wallet is thus varying.In its design, the Japanese Stonohan study includes the distribution and involvement parameters of the buyer.Conceived from a single leather sheet cut with laser technology, allows a distribution of the flat object and that the user assembles it later.Almost like those cardboard boxes that are assembled according to notches.Another Japanese Naoto Fukasawa, - devout from the essential design, always impeccable- opts for a collection of tote bags with five formally different models.And includes subtle chromatic variants in white milk, white chalk or broken white.

In the study of Zaha Hadid they have designed a bag that can be taken in a bandolera, fannyry and harness, and with which they want to emphasize gender neutrality.The architect David Chipperfield is the architect of the Market Picnic Bag as a wide handbag, made with linen and leather canvas, inner pocket and bottle compartment.The textile part can be disassembled and is washable.

The cherrybag of Nicolò Gavazzi -involved in the project of the UTY -no doubt is evocative of the logode a well -known disco of our country.A creation of playful spirit that explains as "an intentionally little practical bag.Having two identical bags instead of one can make it more complicated to find what you are looking for in your bag.With luck, it can also be fun ".
