FORM FOLLOWS FUN

This handbag radically challenges conventional notions of functionality. With 18 zippers, it stages a formal paradox: while partial openings allow for structured access, a simultaneous unveiling renders it entirely devoid of practical relevance. The more it reveals, the less tangible it becomes. Function dissolves into gesture, wearability turns into theory. What remains is an ironic monument to the void behind utility — and a compelling plea for the poetry of uselessness.

Unter dem Titel „Form Follows Fun“ stellt diese Handtasche konventionelle Vorstellungen von Funktionalität radikal infrage. Das Modell inszeniert mit 18 Reißverschlüssen ein formales Paradox: partiell erlaubt es strukturierten Zugriff, doch in der simultanen Öffnung verliert es jede praktische Relevanz. Je mehr sie preisgibt, desto weniger bleibt sie greifbar. Die Funktion zerfällt zur Geste, die Tragbarkeit wird zur Theorie. Was bleibt, ist ein ironisches Monument an die Leere hinter dem Zweck – und ein Plädoyer für die Poesie der Nutzlosigkeit.

TUBULAR is a series of handcrafted leatherbags.

It is a tribute to the design of modernism, whose style-defining designs, such as the tubular chairs, continue to have an impact to the present day.

The collection adopts significant features of these tubular chairs such as the Viennese basket weave pattern, black leather and chrome-plated tubular steel, and interprets them to high-quality handbags with a timeless design.

The technical approach of the chrome-plated tubular parts are detailed constructions, which are used as bag-specific metal components. These elements lead in some cases to characteristic closure methods.

TUBULAR
Made in Germany.

Master Collection

TUBULAR is a series of handcrafted leatherbags. It is a tribute to the design of modernism, whose
style-defining designs, such as the tubular chairs, continue to have an impact to the present day.
The collection adopts significant features of these designs such as the Viennese basket weave
pattern, chrome-plated tubular steel, black leather, and interprets them in the ductus of modernism to create high-quality handbags with a timeless design.
Eight handbags show various types of the Viennese wickerwork and chrome plated tube elements including bag-specific metal components. These elements culminate in closure techniques characteristic for TUBULAR.
