SCHOOLBAG KOKO

KoKo ist a colourful schoolbag for primary school kids. It is made up of two stiff felt shells and a removable lining. By pulling at the cords that connect the shells, the contents of the bag are pressed against your back, giving you a more ergonomic distribution of the weight therein. The pulling and loosening of the cords also gives the kids an element of play.
The lid flips down instead of up to open, which makes it easier to access the pack’s contents, especially when it’s hanging by the side of the school desk. The felt halves, carrying system and lining all make up a modular system and can therefore be easily interchanged with elements of other colours.
