| description | This paper explains the contemporary Design dynamics and shows how specific design processes influence and modify user behaviour and production narrative in the material culture of a transforming society. The research shows the methods used in applying the design process to create an innovative low cost upcycled multifunctional and transformative backpack/bag in the specific context of nomad working. The purpose was not to create a fashion accessory, but to design a new outer case for laptops and various objects. The case study demonstrates the importance of the collaboration between designers, engineers, technicians and entrepreneurs, namely Bisector Studio as a design team and Upside Down as the producer from Iasi in order to achieve functional innovation and relevant visual communication. |
