Desarrollo de una colección de bolsos multifuncionales con la experimentación de técnicas de origami y plegado para la empresa Curtiembre Quisapincha

Abstract

This project entitled “Development of a collection of multifunctional bags in leather goods with the experimentation of origami and folding techniques for the company Curtiembre Quisapincha” aims to introduce the traditional techniques of origami to the field of accessory design to build folding structures that allow the transformation of shapes and sizes, in order to develop bags that fulfill various functions and adapt to the needs of the consumer. The semi-structured interview was applied to female teachers of the Faculty of Design and Architecture of the Technical University of Ambato, this group represents an active and professional consumer profile with specific needs, because they daily carry a variety of items, not only personal items but also tools for teaching practical classes such as: pattern rules, flexometer, tape measure, drawing materials, notebooks, computer, etc. The results obtained indicated a clear need for large, adaptable and durable bags. In the experimental phase, different origami and folding techniques adapted to fashion and accessory design, which were investigated in previous academic articles, were applied. As a result, it was identified that modular origami with folding structure is the most viable technique that allows the integration of multifunctionality through transformation and aesthetic design.
