Everless Smartbag - The Shopping Bag Re-invented
Design and development of the innovative SmartBag, a strategically compact & convenient alternative to single-use plastic bags. Designed to support the brand philosophy of ‘conscientious convenience’ by nudging consumers to be more sustainable in their shopping habits.The collapsible SmartBag offers a strong, ultra-lightweight, flexible and compact solution.
Hard meets soft
A sketch expresses the design brief: How to get a big bag into a small case without stuffing or difficult folding? To this end, Joanna began exploring, experimenting and prototyping and ultimately came up with a sophisticated folding solution. Numerous working prototypes were made and evaluated. The invention was fine-tuned into a manufacturable industrial design. The result reflects her aim to deliver a clear, recognizable design offering Everless numerous options for future customization.
Soft goods expertise
This project from Joanna’s portfolio involved research, invention, design, development and high-tech fabrics engineering, as well as close collaboration with suppliers for prototyping and production.
The design and development of softgood is hands-on. Craft, precision and design came together in order to create a sophisticated folding solution. The challenge of collapsing the soft fabric into a semi-rigid outer case is resolved in a precise technical way. At the same time the fabric with it’s folds has its own unique structure, which is geometric, tactile and dynamic
