NOI in Berlin

German designers Nora Schmidt and Ines Königsmann have joined in 2009 to form Studio NOI. They presented their new products at DMY, Design Festival Berlin.
Haori – The traditional Kimono is characterized by its long sleeve bags – these aliform sacs are used as (secret) storage for personal utensils. This expressive image of the Kimono, which is often presented on a typical Kimono rack was the starting point of their creative work. With a feather-light bag system made from Tyvek and a minimal wooden structure a series of spatially imposing but decent storage racks was created.
