175:D

concept designed for DELVAUX

"Famous Belgian manufacturer of handbags and other leather accessories, Delvaux, celebrated its 175th anniversary. An equal number of artists were therefore asked to do something with the leftovers of the materials used for their designs. The results would be compiled in a book. I started from a double idea. First: a handbag is something to show off. And second: you never find something in a bag when you need it. So I proposed to create an inverted handbag: with all the objects that are normally inside the bag, attached to the outside. In this one-off the objects were covered with a coating."
