‘Wooden Textiles’ by Elisa Strozyk

Having studied at prominent arts colleges in Paris and Berlin, as well as for a MA in ‘Future Textile Design’ at London’s influential Central Saint Martins, Berlin born Elisa Strozyk is particularly well qualified, and it shows with the artistry and originality of her work, in particular her beautiful ‘Wooden Textiles’ project…. an innovative study of contrasting materials, hard and soft, flexible and rigid. Strozyk’s work is an antidote to the increasingly virtual, non-tangible world we live in, her vision is that “giving importance to surfaces that are desirable to touch can reconnect us with the material world and enhance the emotional value of an object”… with products this challenging and beautiful, reconnecting to the material world would be no problem whatsover….

Chiara Goose ‘Cardboard Luggage’

Although it might not survive the abuse of your local airport luggage handler, Chiara Goose’s ‘Cardboard Luggage’ remains a stylish and playful piece that any weekend warrior can appreciate. Using surprisingly sturdy double-corrugated cardboard, metal rivets, and cotton cording, this piece has a level of craftsmanship and attention to detail that speak to both its usefulness and functional design.

The luggage itself ‘unpacks,’ forming a standing shelving unit to organize your various possessions, making the days of digging into the depths of your bag a thing of the past. Chiara Goose’s ‘Cardboard Luggage’ shows that just because your working in recyclable materials, doesn’t mean you have to recycle creative design.
