De UnLimited Sarcina Dorsualis

UnLimited est sarcina dorsualis recyclabilis pro cyclistis urbanis destinata. Sarcina omnino aquae resistens est et magnitudine aptari potest. Structura plicatilis saccum sinit se extendere ad res inopinatas capiendas et in formam gracilem comprimi, quae mobilitatem auget. UnLimited ex una materia confecta est, elastomero thermoplastico recyclabili variis duritiae gradibus, et calore conflando obsignatur. Plerumque sarcinae dorsuales plures materias coniungunt et difficulter recyclari possunt. Constructio unius materiae reusum et recyclationem post finem vitae utilis fovet.

De Praemium A' Design Award Aeneum

UnLimited Sarcina Dorsualis victor est Praemii A' Design Award Aeneum, honoris multum aestimati formis egregiis, creandi ingenio, sollertia et acumine insignibus dati. Victores Aenei opera perita et mire creandi sunt, quae experientiam, imaginationem et solertiam auctorum suorum confirmant. Exspectatur UnLimited Sarcina Dorsualis rem multum aestimatam, admiratam et carissimam, notabiliter professionalem et novam fore. Haec forma Aeneo victa optimas consuetudines artis, scientiae, formandi rationis et technologiae amplectitur et in cura minutiarum excellit. UnLimited Sarcina Dorsualis necessitates egregie explet, cupiditates tangit, sensus capit et curiositatem allicit.

Merita, sodales gregis et singula technica a designatore praebita.

Proprietates Singulares: UnLimited is a recyclable, fully waterproof and size adjustable backpack tailored to the needs of an urban slow cyclist. This project aims to demonstrate the unlimited and limited requirements of space and material through a daily backpack. It can both expand to accommodate unexpected items and compress to keep the backpack streamlined to allow for better mobility.
Dimensiones et Involucrum: 290 mm x 410 mm x (20~150) mm, 860 g
Notulae: backpack, material, exploration, sustainable, plastics, responsible consumption and production, slow cycling, commuting, unlimited, limited
Technologia Productionis: The concept and production focus on concertina structure, material features and plastic production methods. Following the design philosophy for 'design of reduction', the backpack is sealed by heat welding and made of mono-material DuPont Hytrel, or similar recyclable thermoplastic elastomers with different levels of hardness. This feature is in stark contrast to the backpacks on the market today, which are multi-material and hard to recycle.
Provocatio Designandi: How to bring DuPont Hytrel from industrial usages to daily life market is the first challenge of this project. Another barrier is to search suitable hardness and thickness for the concertina structure, which should provide an instantly positive user experience.
Investigatio: The design research was conducted through material exploration firstly and discovering the target audience and market through survey, road observation and 1:1 interview.
Inspiratio: Plastics that improve with age. The project is to design a product, with recyclable plastic, that is sustainable and creates a genuine bond with the user. An object that improves with age and counters some of the negative attributes often attributed to plastics such as cheap, transient and unemotional. Considering the longevity of a solution but also its place in a circular economy. What is its service life, how can it be reused, recycled or repurposed if it comes to the end of its useful life?
Duratio Operis: The material research started from visiting DuPont Geneva Innovation Center in October 2016. The concept development was implemented during the springs of 2017 and 2018 in London, following a release in the 2018 degree show at the Royal College of Art. The latest prototype was made in November 2019 in Tainan.
Cursus Operationis: Enough? Enough! UnLimited provides cyclists space depends on their needs. However, for the limitation of a bike, cyclists should not be a greedy user. They have to ensure the load they carry can keep their journey comfortable, not an obstacle. The project reflects balance and interaction between cyclists and their freedom of bringing as much as they can or as less as they can.
