The origami Cubo, origami Vega and origami Pillow bags all take an architectural approach to bag design. Loewe use specialist pattern-cutting to create the origami series which can fold completely flat, making them the perfect travel companions to ensure you have the most stylish storage when on the go. The bags are made from large, strong leather of which can only be produced with Loewe’s know-how.

The four short videos were filmed by Nigel Shafran, the short series entitled Functionality and Poetry uses surrealistic situations, humour and a cinematographic approach to present the poetry and functionality of the styles.

Included in the exhibition are a variety of high profile projects such as the Venice Biennale, and pieces from designers including Tom Dixon, Peter Kennard, Pearson Lloyd, Sebastian Bergne, Nigel Shafran, Michael Marriott and Anthony Burrill.
