Luxury brand’s Dolce & Gabbana, Hermès, designer brand Rfactory and technology design agency Omuus were to make specially tailored design Fashion carrying case for the Ora product.

WELL-GROUNDED TECHNOLOGY AND FASHION KNOWLEDGE

For this project, we were given the opportunity to create something truly unique within the space where art meets fashion and technology, using latest material technology with the best craftsmanship. Omuus CMF specialist Grace Boicel’s fashion and jewellery design background was key for the project success.

Grace’s portfolio is extensive, working for Swedish H&M as Head of design accessory & jewellery and for Nokia and Microsoft, product designs for Nokia L´Amour collection and 8800. More recently she has also worked on other wearable concepts such as Ticwatch and Onitor.

CREATING SOMETHING TRULY UNIQUE

Today people want it all. Luxury has shifted from status materials and known brands to experience driven design. Design needs to be customisable, to fit in with the consumer’s lifestyle.

The target was to create a truly unique carrying case that was supporting the lifestyle of Ora’s customers. The design inspiration came from the biological tropical garden fused with the modern fast living. To create a carrying case that combines the best of two world, modern smart materials with the genuine crafted materials in leather, metal and crystal.

Process of making the product more luxurious, we worked with jewellery details and Swarovski’s beautiful crystal stones in combination with a transparent tinted soft plastic, that would protect the product like a second skin. We collaborated with premium leather suppliers to find the right leather grain and texture.

The result was a carrying case that mixes’ the best qualities of old and new a carrying case that truly celebrate Ora’s beautiful product. The carrying case can easily be customised to reflect personal style and help the user to access the product in any situation.
