About Switchbag Zaino
The Switch Bag nasce dall'impatto della pandemia e rispecchia le dualità della natura umana. Trae ispirazione dall'architettura e dal pittore Mondrian. L'esterno di questo oggetto è minimale e silenzioso, in contrasto con l'interno che presenta scatole vivaci e colorate. Queste scatole dotate di magneti possono essere spostate e adattate alle esigenze dell'utente. Si trasforma in uno zaino, un ufficio/casa nomade, un oggetto di arredamento o un organizer e si adatta a diversi ambienti, riflettendo la resilienza richiesta nei momenti difficili.
