Looptworks :: Moving Towards A Circular Economy
…aterial? What’s your process? It is a little of both. What we do turns the design process on its head. As we are working on design, we are investigating the materials to make the product. Sometimes we find other materials that spark other ideas for additional products. The important points are that we are not just making products to make them, they have to matter regardless of what they are made from. How do you track down these opportunities? Do…
Velomacchi Speedway Roll-Top Review :: Drive-By
…en so many clever (fighting the use of “brilliant…”) solutions to the same design problems that carry designers wrench on day after day.” What I didn’t expect, though, were their fascinating insights on how they built their company, and as an independent designer with my own fledgling brand, I was just as interested in that as I was the bag.

…cumstances, I use different bags for different things. As a result, a Peak Design Tech Pouch holds all my smaller items, helping make a smooth transfer from one bag to another.

côte&ciel Isar Backpack Review
…ps and back panel Price: ?? This item is no longer listed on their website Design As we’ve already established, the design is undoubtedly polarizing, so I’ll let you decide how you feel. I’d also like to point out that the Isar only looks good, in my opinion, when its contents give it a considerable bump to create the round shape. That’s the only way the sculptural look comes to life. The materials look decent with the water-repellent polyester co…

Unicorn/Dragon Patch Design Story and Symbolism
One patch design is light. One patch design is dark. One patch is inspired by the West. One patch is inspired by the East. An equal opposite balance. Yin and Yang. When the two patches are displayed next to each other, as intended, they visually interact. The characters and beasts are riding towards each other, towards battle, or maybe towards peace. Or maybe both at the same time. Or maybe on different timelines. On the Carryology Assault (AKA “…

5 Key Elements :: Designing The Finisterre Waterproof Duffle
…aintenance After extreme testing we knew the bag would work. As far as the design goes, ‘simple’ yet comfortable was the key. Essentially it is a duffle designed for the hand and therefore most focus went into that. However, we did want to wear it on the back so a versatile strapping system was important.

The Life and Times of the Modern Tactical Backpack
…t – considered by many to be the first external frame backpack ever seen – design-wise, it wasn’t too far off the ‘Sekk Med Meis’ frames devised by the Norwegians back in the 1880s (which, of course, Nelson would have had no idea about). Whatever came first elsewhere, Nelson’s Alaskan packboard is regarded by many as ‘where it all began’ for modern backpacking, and a vital link in military design thinking. That aside, the often under-appreciated i…
