Over DA17 Conductor Primaire Functie: Crossbody-tas

DA17 Conductor is een compacte crossbody-tas ontworpen voor dagelijks gebruik in de stad. De tas is uniseks en bedoeld om zowel een portemonnee als een traditionele handtas te vervangen. Het kleine formaat ondersteunt vrije bewegingen tijdens het wandelen of fietsen, en het interieur biedt plaats aan contant geld, kaarten en andere persoonlijke spullen. Een gebogen magneetsluiting houdt de tas vanzelf gesloten en kan met één vinger worden geopend. De smalle leren band is verstelbaar en kan op de schouder of dwars over het lichaam worden gedragen. Een verhoogde bodem houdt de tas van het oppervlak eronder verwijderd.

Productietechnologie: While The DA17 Conductor uses traditional leather craft combined with modern cutting & sewing machinery for its production, its unique formed curve and edge finishing relies heavily on the expertise of skilled artisans to achieve a refined and consistent result.
Ontwerpuitdaging: For DA17 Conductor, the challenge lies primarily in finding an ideal form factor that can offer both mobility and capacity that will make the bag practical in real life use.

The new, compact form factor require challenging the convention that money & cards are stored in wallets and purse. The conscious design decision to forgo wallet helps open up new possibilities and ultimately resulted in a more compact form factor that offers greatly increased utility.

Design-wise, the bag enclosure offers unique both design & technical challenges. Intended to make it convenient for users to access their belongings, the curve enclosure had been designed to provide widest access point as possible, in an extremely compact body. The curve had to be carefully refined to create a pleasing curve as well as retaining as much internal capacity as possible when closed.

Meanwhile, the wider access design necessitate compromise in terms of gaps along on the sides of the enclosure. The designer therefore paid extra attention in minimizing the size & position of the gap, ensuring items in the bag will remain secure in the bag, but to also visually refined the sides, helping to allay users' fear of any possibilities in the first place.
Onderzoek: The research approach towards designing the DA17 Conductor is centered around studying the lifestyle specific users. By accompanying and observing 5 carefully select users on their day-off (mixed gender, age between 18-28, living in the city and minimalist style) the designer was able to obtain an understanding of the user's lifestyle, as well as the items this particular group of users typically carry with them.

The end form factor was directly derived from users requirement for a bag that can better cater for their more mobile and active movement as well as the items they require to carry with them.

A series of prototypes were then built and road-tested to help designer fine-tune the design, ensuring that the product is practical to use in the real world.
Inspiratie: The DA17 Conductor draws inspiration from European train conductor's gear. A compact form factor that offers mobility and utility in confined space, the conductor bag is an ideal format for mobility in modern urban landscape. By marrying this niche bag format with broader use function and minimalistic styling, the format offers an ideal solution for urban mobility in the modern age.
Projectduur: The project began in late November 2019 and was subsequently completed in March 2020 with the product being subsequently launched for online and brick & mortar sale in July 2020.
Werkproces: The bag can be opened with just one finger by simply sliding your finger along the top edge to open, starting from the side. The bag will close itself once you let go of the enclosure.
The carry strap can be securely adjusted via the twin pin snaps which locks the strap into a desire length. The can be carried on shoulder or crossbody for more secure carrying
Meanwhile, the "Stilt" base provides the bag with increased stability and help raise the bag's bottom off the surface when putting down on surfaces, keeping the bag clean and easy to maintain.
