| description | In the year 2018, according to The Straits Times, Singaporeans were accountable for disposing of more than 140,000 tonnes of textile and leather waste. My FYP project, Stackpack, aims to reduce textile waste by making sure to upcycle existing fabrics so that I can play my part in reducing textile waste. In terms of function, my focus is to redesign a backpack that is catered to the needs of canoe polo athletes, a particular sports industry that has not been tackled yet. The design of Stacpack aims to bring convenience and versatility to its users and particularly to people who engage in canoe polo and other water sports activities. By adopting a modular system, the backpack allows the user the flexibility to choose the size of the backpack according to the amount of space that he or she would need for that particular day. This system makes the backpack very versatile and convenient and could even be used for a daily outdoor pack. Besides being a modular pack, it is also purposefully designed to make the best use of the space available to store a bulky helmet. The cleverly designed “magic space” allows users more space to store their items in the previously underutilized space within the helmet. |
