Ipad shoulder bag

Twisted Icelandic horse-skin ipad bag, forcefully seduced from one single piece, 
with a sutured long strap, weaved through the closure.

To hold what is most delicate
Too many zeros and just as many ones.

And it was another time a horse, lost in the awkward grassed hills that cover Iceland, that gave its skin for yours.  These horses, genetically unique to Iceland, are ridden till the end of their days, then taken for all parts of it's body.  As with a fingerprint, the hide of each horse has a unique pattern and texture, ranging from a smooth to a wrinkled, stiff or soft hide.  The skins are left unsplit.  No two horses and no to bags are the same. 

My head is falling
yet the fever is soaring.

THIS EDITION

PHOTOGRAPHY - MARINÓ THORLACIUS

This product, a Horse Skin Clutch, was originally made in 2010 in our studio in Iceland from chromium tanned Icelandic horse skin and regionally sourced basalt.

To update this item for the year 2022, it is now made in Portugal by our partner The Last Conspiracy, a Danish brand, from regional vegetable tanned horse skin, lava-stone, laser beams and human energy.

The object has been marginally altered from the original version, where XX has taken the place of machine stitch and the closure has been adjusted for reasons we won’t talk about. The same legacy cutting file is used to drive the laser's servo mechanisms.

FOALD is constructed from 3 pieces of leather, sutured into shape by a master of machine and skin, fastened with lava stone, creating a volume to hold the unique contraction of precise articles that compose your true journey.

The arrangement of volume and surface form are the eventuation of manipulated old-school dart geometries and tailor-method easing in concert. The exploitation of these fundamental techniques in the pattern construction shapes the meshed skin fibers into a taught surface from of the forces of tension and compression in non-consensual abeyance.

A black basalt lava stone is milled into a sphere, sheared, and shank sewn into place for fastening. In concluding the fabrication, a waxed thread is hand applied, securing the stresses, for reasons aesthetic and practical.

The edges are blackened from carbon as a result of the awesome power of the 100watt CO2 laser, focused through a German glass lens, at wickedly hot degrees Celsius defined by a combination of power and speed. A lower power beam is used to engrave the object text

Laser-burn aesthetic and olfaction featured strongly in the studio work during this period.

This is a clutch for a fluid age. It is all volume.
