They are loyal companions, the products from Ucon Acrobatics: durable backpacks slung on the backs of city dwellers worldwide. As I wait at traffic lights on my bike, I notice how many other cyclists carry Ucon Acrobatics backpacks. The Berlin brand is a local player with remarkable success — no surprise given the extreme functionality of their designs. This ethos aligns seamlessly with the renowned Bauhaus motto: “Form follows function”. The design of Ucon Acrobatics backpacks is tailored to the ergonomic needs of our backs and what we carry with us: laptops, lunch boxes, post-work shopping, sports gear… the list goes on. All of these items find their place in models like Jasper, Hajo and Niklas. Now, these three backpacks are available as part of a limited edition collaboration with the Bauhaus Foundation. In line with the ethos of the famous art school, the Ucon Acrobatics team has pursued innovative solutions. The backpacks are crafted from cork, the natural material is layered thinly creating a distinctive pattern. An outer waterproof layer ensures all belongings stay dry as you travel from A to B, and has a sleek but subtle silver shimmer. Combined with the silver tone, the cork resembles terrazzo, and the shimmering, reflective elements provide added safety during low visibility conditions. The Ucon Acrobatics x Bauhaus Collection is perfect for daily commutes and cultural outings. Imagine a trip to the temporary Bauhaus Archive, where you can explore the Otti Berger exhibition — another pioneer of textile innovation. Alternatively, you might journey to Weimar and Dessau, the birthplaces of the Bauhaus movement. One thing is certain: form and function inspire motivation!
