The Convertible Travel Bag concept is the result of a collaboration between the Florence School of Architecture and Picuadro. The aim of the project was to present 14 bags developed by third year design students at the Italian institution of higher education.
"The objective was to meet the needs of the modern traveler who must move regularly for business on multiple modes of transport, and obviously for one who is not afraid of a bit of color," Core77 notes.
The blaze orange bag featured was designed by Chiara Ladanza who called it the Multi-Bag, and the green one, designed by Alessandro Falco, is called the Easy Bag.
