Whether it’s lifelike animation, 3D design and printing, or augmented reality — the world is moving ever faster towards the intersection of what’s physical and what’s digital. Here to take that idea on headfirst is the award winning Berlin-based studio, Zeitguised — who produce exquisite realities which linger between art and design. In their fourth collaboration on “phygital (physical + digital)” objects, they’ve paired up with Japanese bag designer Toshiki Tagisawa and his label X-Magazine. Combining cutting edge digital manufacturing methods with Japanese craft, the Bagashi bags have a unique feature: they are all designed and made around a ‘hole’. The Zeitguised design algorithm produced unpredicted shapes that virtually cut through the bags (of course acting only as a window, not a real hole) and the rest is handmade by Toshiki and his team in Japan. In a limited edition of 100, in 5 color schemes, we can’t wait to see how this combination comes together. See them in person at the Bagashi bag launch at Firmament next Monday (15.1.2018) from 18h. Monday nights never looked so good. (Text: Massimo Hartmann / GIF: Zeitguised)
