User Friendly Eco Bag for Everyday Life

Abstract

The bag is a multi-tasking accessory for women, which combines their vain dimension with the utilitarian one related to different female personalities, the narcissistic character and the need to carry some “tools”, which satisfies and adapts to their changing needs during the day. A bag is an accessory that “helps” but that, at the same time, “confuses” because of some problems, including the difficulty of finding objects inside, where everything is often stored in a disorderly way. Starting from these assumptions, here is the result of a research developed at the Department of Architecture of the University of Chieti-Pescara as part of a master’s degree thesis. In particular, specific analyzes were conducted on the types of bags most used by a wide variability of female users in different contexts of use. The research ends with the concept design of a storage bag that responds to the main female needs, with particular attention to the realization through the use of environmentally sustainable 3D printable materials.
