§ 01 — Preface
The term pyroclast points to formal kinship, not to a design intention.
The slate structure remains untreated. Its fracture lines and transitions shape the appearance and reflect the tension between geological mass and constructive order.
The curved form of the bag follows the geometry of the human body: each contour responds to the areas the object touches while being carried.
§ 02 — Transition
The exterior refers to geological processes without imitating them. The interior recalls a tectonic cut through volcanic depths. The glowing orange layering continues the exterior material idea inside. The design responds to the given structure of the slate without commenting on it.
§ 03 — Construction
The construction of the body is designed to absorb the weight of the stone. Its overall weight remains comparable to an evening bag made of leather.
