Architects have a specific profession that requires them to carry a whole set of equipment, technical drawings, and personal utensils with them. In response to the problem of organising these items in a bag, the Architects’ Bag design project was created. The equipment of the bag’ includes: two cases, extremely useful at work, as well as during meetings with investors, contractors, and construction workers. The first one will accommodate documents and technical drawings, a tablet, a calendar and writing utensils. A special pocket will also allow provide space for business cards. The second one, with its hard backing, will allow for comfortable work in the field, when inventory or other notes need to be taken. Inside it there is a pocket for a rangefinder and space for a measuring tape. The bag also has a pocket for a laptop. The structural elements of the cases are made of plywood and leather. The interior, in addition to the leather, is also made of haberdashery rubber. The bag has many advantages – it is very durable, can withstand heavy loads and can serve the user for a longer period of time, thanks to the use of high-quality grain leather. With its minimalist form and character, the Architect’s Bag emphasises the rawness and nobility of the materials used. It is multifunctional and its elegant appearance has a positive impact on the professional image of the user.
