Normally in the form of a shoulder bag, this piece can be unpacked to form a tent like structure made from suit bags, creating a portable personal space, dwelling capsule, as a means to escape from the over crowded metropolitan life. It serves as a protective enclosure which separates us both
mentally and physically from the constriction of space in the urban area.

Allowing the individual to ‘time-out’ from the stresses of the social world, for self-reflection and thought. It usually takes the form of a shoulder bag because people pursue convenience. The shoulder bag corresponds to this always on the go attitude. It is in the shape of a tent because it represents a home, a safe refuge/shelter where they can retreat to. The colour red symbolises the heart and it is also used to indicate ‘Stop’ from everyday life.
