Collapsible Wool Backpacks

The Christian Poulsen Packet Bag Can Be Contracted and Laid Flat

— May 7, 2015 — Art & Design
The Christian Poulsen Packet Bag boasts functionality. The grey and blue-hued piece is made with a single wool sheet that can be contracted and laid completely flat if unzipped.

This seldom seen design is bent on simplifying on-the-go products while catering to the needs of shoppers. Whether a student or an employee, having a tote that can twist into varying positions is an asset, particularly when dealing with cramped spaces.

For urban city dwellers, this item will also come in handy. Cramped apartments, busy sidewalks and subway trains call for a concept just like the Packet Bag. According to the description, it can also hold a 17" laptop. This amount of space is ideal for items needed on the daily.
Trend Themes

2. Multi-functional Bags - Creating bags that can hold laptops and other necessary items is a disruptive innovation opportunity for companies seeking to cater to the needs of busy students and employees.
3. Space-saving Products - Developing products that are designed to fit easily into cramped spaces, like city apartments and busy subway trains, presents an opportunity for companies looking to design products that meet the needs of urban dwellers.

2. Tech Industry - The tech industry can capitalize on the trend of multi-functional bags capable of holding laptops and other tech devices by designing and developing products that cater to the needs of busy professionals and students who are always on-the-go.
3. Home Organization Industry - The home organization industry can take advantage of the trend of space-saving products by creating and marketing collapsible and multi-functional storage solutions for small living spaces and urban apartments.
