Some readers who are into interior design may remember the white pierced porcelain bowl and box Panier percé (2005) and Boîte tamisée (2007) designed for Industreal by Guillaume Delvigne and Ionna Vautrin.
These bowls had a peculiarity, they were accompanied by kits containing thread, a needle and patterns, and could be customised and personalised with embroidery.
Though simple, the idea was excellent since it opened endless possibilities to users.
The main principle behind Delvigne and Vautrin's pieces came back to my mind last week upon seeing the bags designed by Ufetto and presented at childrenswear fair Pitti Bimbo in Florence (see last image in this post).
You can bet though that, if there were on the market bags that could encourage people to be creative while teaching them basic embroidery and cross-stitch notions, maybe quite a few grown ups would be more interested than children...
