Event Description
About This Workshop
This workshop explores one-piece bag construction, a designer-level approach that prioritizes silhouette, proportion, and structural intelligence over decoration.
Inspired by minimalist contemporary design, this bag is developed with an original pattern, re-engineered hardware decisions, and professional studio techniques.
The goal is not DIY — but learning how designers think through form and construction.
By the end of the course, each student will complete and take home a finished designer bean bag.
