TAXON.

A METICULOUSLY ORCHESTRATED TAXONOMY OF LEATHER STRAPS CHARACTERISES THE TAXON BAG, ENWRAPPING THE GEOMETRIC CONSTRUCTION OF ITS BODY. EITHER PULLED TAUT OR LEFT TO CASCADE LOOSELY, THE STRAPS BREAK DOWN THE STRUCTURE OF THE BAG AND EMBODY THE REFINED CRAFTSMANSHIP AT THE CORE OF TSATSAS.

931.
DESIGN DIETER RAMS

IN NOVEMBER 2018, WE INTRODUCED OUR COLLABORATION WITH ONE OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL INDUSTRIAL DESIGNERS OF THE PAST DECADES. TOGETHER WITH DIETER RAMS, WE REVISITED ONE OF HIS DESIGNS FROM 1963 THAT WAS NEVER PUBLISHED: THE WOMEN’S HANDBAG 931, DEDICATED TO HIS WIFE INGEBORG.

ENA.

AT JUST 110 GRAMS, THE ENA DRAWSTRING POUCH IS REMARKABLY LIGHTWEIGHT AND FINISHED WITH A SUPPLE PACIFIC BLUE LAMB NAPPA LINING. ITS CLEAN SILHOUETTE IS COMPLEMENTED BY AN ADJUSTABLE LEATHER DRAWSTRING THREADED THROUGH FOUR SOLID BRASS EYELETS, ALLOWING THE BAG TO BE WORN COMFORTABLY CROSS-BODY OR OVER THE SHOULDER AT DIFFERENT LENGTHS.

TRODUCING BASIL.

SOMETIMES THERE IS NO SKETCH TO START FROM, NO FIXED IDEA OF WHERE IT MIGHT END. A DESIGN PROCESS IS NOT A LINEAR TRACK, AND SO IT WAS NOT WITH BASIL: BORN OUT OF THE ONGOING BACK-AND-FORTH BETWEEN THE TSATSAS LEATHER WORKSHOP AND ATELIER, LIKE A PING-PONG MATCH BETWEEN ESTHER, DIMITRIOS, AND HIS FATHER, VASSILIOS, THAT NEVER QUITE STOPS.

IT WAS VASSILIOS TSATSAS, THE MASTER CRAFTSMAN OF THE TSATSAS LEATHER WORKSHOP, WHO CAME ACROSS A PRECISELY CUT PIECE OF LEATHER DRAPED OVER THE BACK OF A CHAIR, FOLDED ALMOST 180 DEGREES INTO A GENTLE CURVE. HIS IDEA TOOK SHAPE: THAT ROUNDED BEND BECAME THE BASE OF A BAG, GIVING RISE TO A DROP-SHAPED SILHOUETTE, AND WITH JUST TWO LEATHER GUSSETS ADDED TO EITHER SIDE, A NEW BAG DESIGN CAME TO LIFE.

AND SO THE NAME OF THIS BAG WAS BORN TOO, INSPIRED BY VASILIKO - THE TENDER NICKNAME DERIVED FROM HIS OWN NAME AND THE GREEK WORD FOR THE BASIL HERB, THE NAME HIS MOTHER CALLED HIM AS A BOY IN THE MOUNTAINS OF GREECE’S EPIRUS REGION.

SACAR.

IT IS THE GATHERING OF TWO IDENTICAL SQUARE PIECES OF LEATHER THAT GIVES SACAR ITS DISTINCTIVE SHAPE. THROUGH A METICULOUS AND TIME-INTENSIVE APPROACH TO CRAFTSMANSHIP, A CENTRED DRAPING GIVES WAY TO AN ORGANIC, SOFT BODY, CAREFULLY SHAPED TO DEVELOP VOLUME.
