Morrama, an industrial design and innovation agency, has collaborated with the environmentally conscious luggage brand Phoenix to develop the Tela range, a new collection of sustainable luggage.
The Tela range comprises three timelessly minimal suitcases available in a selection of pastel colors, harmonizing sustainability, durability, and aesthetics. Morrama's design approach for this collection was "guided by Phoenix's four core brand pillars: design for disassembly, design for circularity, design for modularity, and desired design."
Each suitcase in the collection features a "completely blank front and a continuous frame, serving as a blank canvas to inspire creativity. Constructed from a blend of aerospace-grade polycarbonate, with 30% sourced from recycled materials, these cases exemplify sustainable and durable craftsmanship."
The Tela range is available in soft pastel colors like lilac, pale yellow, and mint but also comes in solid black for those who prefer a classic look.
