David Schuch (AT)

David Schuch is a Designer working in Linz, born in Lower Austria. His main focus is on the intersection of technology and design, as well as alternative materials to push the boundaries of conventional fashion design.

This bag was made by manipulating the natural properties of gelatine and glycerine, which create a leather-like-material. Using a high heat air dryer causes the composite to melt and change in shape and size. It is then hand-shaped into the forms needed for the object, a difficult process, which could rip the material at any moment. The cooled down leather however is very stable. This makes the bag as fragile as it is sturdy.
