ORISHIKI
“Orishiki” is a hybrid word composed of “Ori ”, taken f rom Origami, Japanese paper-folding art, and “Shiki ” taken f rom Furoshiki, Japanese traditional wrapping cloth which is large enough to wrap and transport goods and gifts, as well as wearing them as scarves. “ORISHIKI” is a new carrying device consisting of a single piece of two dimensional structure, constructed of triangular seg
ments which can be folded like origami, and can wrap things like furoshiki. The unique process can be applied to just about any productions without losing its unique product identity.
折り紙の「折-Ori－」と風呂敷の「敷－shiki－」、方法ややり方を表す「式－Shiki－」を組み合わせた造語「ORISHIKI」。折り紙のように折れ曲がる、三角形のセグメントで構成された一枚の構造体が、風呂敷のように物を包み込みながら、荷物としての機能を果たすまったく新しいコンセプトの鞄のシステム。幾何学的に閉じられたその鞄は、構造的にユニークなだけでなく、その製造方法も特殊。そのため、独自のブランド・アイデンティティを保ちながら、さまざまな製品展開も可能となった。
