Spaghetti Bench by Pablo Reinoso is a product or maybe sculpture that I have a strong appreciation for. Fine art has always been a hobby of mine, particularly abstract work, so when I see pieces designed to be sculptural or mindful of the arts- I'm instantly hooked. This bench is whimsical and thoughtful- it's creates a narrative by having these long and winding pieces of bent ply climbing up the walls. I couldn't help but imagine this in a park for people to sit on, admire, and be inspired by. Art is thought provoking, so when Reinoso combined a generic mass produced bench with these grand gestural planks creeping off the edge of the bench, one can't help be think about it. It's beautiful, organic, and random- three things I often try to incorporate into my design language.
I chose 2unfold by Hard Graft. It's a great product- both in function, manufacturing and in process. This bag considers the multitude of ways we attempt to carry a bag through our day and keeps in mind those heavy MacBooks we occasionally have to trek around with us. It can be carried over the shoulder, on the back, as a clutch, as a book strap, as a messenger bag, just in your hand and probably however you want to drape it across your body. At it's full dimensions the bag can carry a 17" macbook pro, it's able to fold in half to make the bag more compact and snugly carry a 13" macbook. They're designed in Austria and manufactured in Italy. 2unfold is constructed from vegetable tan leather made in small quantities. They are true hand-crafted leather bags with each detail meticulously inspected.
