The accessories in this collection are designed on the basis of the concept of multifunctionality and through an initial reflection about transportable houses such as the Mongolian’s yurt, the houses of nomadic people transferred everywhere with their owners or animals like turtles and snails that live carrying on its shell everywhere. The idea was to group the typical needs of the employee who lives the day mainly outside home, allowing him the convenience of having everything he/she needs close at hand without having to carry around a thousand things uncomfortably, for a very active lifestyle.
