Night Wave, Curtain of Light, Sheep Clouds, Evening Glow by Yui Yamaguchi

Bag / Design

Yui Yamaguchi's basis for designing the bags was the conception of nature as wearable art. In order to be able to enjoy the beauty of wood outside of the house, Yui Yamaguchi came up with the idea of designing wooden bags in the shape of clutches for stowing the most necessary items. The design always started with the perception of a scene in the grain of the wood, which reflects the history of the tree. A rectangular piece is sawn out of the wood, the straightness of which contrasts with the organic, irregular shape of the tree. The bags have a narrow rod-like closure, cylindrical hinges, a joint with a shoulder strap. The bags are easy to use. Yui Yamaguchi took great care in choosing the different wooden parts for the sides of the bag. The continuity of the grain and the fit of all elements were important to her. The shoulder straps are made of vegetable-tanned leather. For Yui Yamaguchi, each bag has its own character and individual personality, although they match in shape.
