Gino "Toolbag"

Sale price$309
Size:

Designed by Christian Loddo, the Gino Toolbag was named after by this old folklore told by Italian wives, "Gino is never at home. He spends all his time mending things in homes around his village. Everyone knows Gino, and sometimes they’d like to spend a little time with him. However without his tools, and the jobs to get done, he dashes off and disappears, like the sun and the moon. ”The Gino Toolbag is inspired by the toolbags workmen used years ago. Made from a single, seamless piece of leather, Gino is held together by a wooden handle secured with screws at both ends. An added feature is that the inside and outside are contrasting leather colors. Handmade in Pesaro, Italy.

About the Maker

OscarMaschera

Our work is a research and we give our fantasies free rein to experiment and manipulate objects made from leather. With a number of different designers under OscarMaschera, each researcher invents and proceeds… exploring the leather which could mean cutting corners, cutting edges, and joining the parts together. Each object is a distinct invention because we consider it simply a stage in the research, never the end-point of the production line.
Like footprints in the sand, our objects represent a story made up of different chapters. Every element of this story, every collection, has its own independent life; every name is a step, a track, or a memory. However what best expresses the idea of our projects is the whole set of collections, and the direction that they all take to merge as one as one… like a slipstream along the coast.
Our designers believe that inventing is a job- first, but foremost, a pleasure. Combining materials, folding lines, choosing colours, modeling prototypes, and constructing are all parts of the intricate process. Above all we let the objects be free to invent a new space; we simply observe how they are modified when they are “in action.”
We strongly believe that: Imagination creates a horizon. The designs are sensed in an ideal world. The next step, the one that allows you to see the images composed in the objects, is the heart of our work. Experience conceptualizes what is initially imagined, and our production process completes this operation.
