Design No. 310: The Architect/Designer Gentleman's Breast Purse, for the Good Life

 

atelier ying, nyc

 

Every designer or architect needs to balance work with some down time just to create and draw. This leather pen roll is adapted to an architect's tools as well as some choice Cuban cigars kept in humitubes, along with cigar accessories. A matching leather pocket brief is customized to hold sheets of good quality stock sketching papers that are 4"x7", about the size of a Moleskine landscape sketchbook. When you roll up all the expensive drawing and meditation tools, you can roll the top flap down 2" so that the roll looks like a pack of temple incense. Monogrammed brass plates and a clutch strap suggest a gentleman's breast purse, luxurious and large enough to accommodate an hour or three of quiet rumination and careless sketching. It's function, being composed of two halves is neither serious or silly, but luxurious.
