LE CORPS .7 - Handbags
I.S.M. Lauren Fonteyn
Le corps .7 is an archetypical collection of leather handbags arisen from a single series 7 shell, donated by Fritz Hansen. This shell determined the shape of the bags.
SHOPPERS
One shell creates two shopper bags out of the ‘lungs’ of the chair. Both pieces mirror each other. They use the typical curve of the series 7 to follow the form of hip or leg, making the ideal working bag.
CLUTCH
The evening bag arises from the seating plane of the series 7. The curvature, required for a comfortable sitting position translates into the shape of the hand. This causes the clutch to lay intuitively in your hands.
DOCTOR’S BAG
The two ears of the series 7 are used for the reinforced sides of the bag. Each ear was cut in half to create a hinge to open the bag. The contrast between the existing round shape of the shell and the angular addition creates an unexpected line on the bottom of the bag.
