‘A piece of architecture in miniature,’ is how the founders of German leather brand Tsatsas, Esther and Dimitrios Tsatsas, describe CARD-CASE, a new wallet design created in collaboration with seminal British architect Sir David Chipperfield.
Indeed, the sleek, geometric design – which folds outwards on a metal rivet to reveal an interior space for notes and bank cards – reflects the feeling of minimalist restraint at the heart of Chipperfield’s architectural oeuvre. ‘Simplicity and functionality are not easy to achieve,’ he tells Wallpaper* of the project, which marks the third chapter of an ongoing collaboration. ‘Despite the persistent effort required, we look back fondly on this project... Tsatsas’ dedication to craft and design sets a fine example.’
