Working on a collaboration called PLAAT, designers Quinten Peuling & Wisse Trooster, of qoowl (remember the wooden sunglasses?), and menswear designer Dewi Bekker designed a ‘technical’ bag made out of laser cut wood. The result of the cutting is a flexible wooden bag with a linear pattern on it.
The flexible wooden exterior is paired with a leather interior letting the bag open completely flat. A leather cord is threaded through the inside and pulled tight to achieve the shape of the bag.
Inside, there are two pockets for your stuff, like your keys or your ID. PLAAT easily converts from a clutch to a shoulder bag if you like.

Hi, how did you generate the cutting patterns?
The only thing I’ve found were on thingiverse, they are using openscad http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:461749

Very pretty but not very practical.
For something a little more practical you can have a similar design but in metal and leather made by Wendy Stevens. No splintering bits of wood there.

If you need pattern like this we can create one for you. This is one of many “bendy” pattern you can cut out of wood. welaser.com

Se o produto apresentado serve como teste de usabilidade mesmo virtualmente, eu teria várias questões sem o ter em minha mão, e nem vendo a funcionalidade dos detalhes.
