Flati by Karyn Lim
Flati is a series of bags that appear and disappear., 23. In their flat state, these bags resemble the single sheet of laminate that they are made of. In one swift motion guided by a pattern of cuts, they transform into a sculptural accessory.
Ms Lim says she was inspired by the process of design, its promise of possibilities and the discoveries it brings. "These are the things that motivate me as a designer. Experimenting with the use of sheet materials in the past year, I try to celebrate the material and perhaps push its limits."
