Encordé bags are made of DuPont™ Tyvek®, a wonderful material that looks like paper but has unexpected properties. It is waterproof and almost unbreakable. To stiffen the Tyvek®, a thick rope goes around the bag, rigidify the bottom and the sides, creates a pocket in the front and ends in handles. This project idea was born during a one-week workshop at ECAL while we were still studying. Especially for the Swiss Incubator event at the world economic forum in Tianjin, we developed this idea and designed two brand new models: A weekender and a backpack.

Ting is a rain collector for garden use. The top part is made of brass using the cymbal manufacturing technique. The brass sheet is hammered and heated by hand until it takes a curved and natural shape. As the raindrops fall on the top, a delicate music can be heard.

may be used to water the indoor plants.
That project was developed during a Summer workshop with Chenya Wang from the Tsinghua University. Produced in a limited numbered edition.
