100% design show happened last month in london. wurd from designboom and shift is the green theme. one of my all-time favorite bags shown above from qurz, inc.

There are eight exhibiters from Japan. “Monacca“, the wooden bag and furniture series was very appealing. They use thinning wood, which is usually thrown away as waste in Japan, to remain in keeping with the theme of being green. The attaché cases were particularly appealing, especially a good idea for keeping your laptop safely stored away. With this design, the ancient Japanese woodcraft tradition is being celebrated in a very modern fashion. Along with this are Zabuton, the traditional Japanese low seated stools, again utilising the thinning wood.
