I designed this bag in the same way I designed everything else, so largely based on right angles, but perhaps a little more emotionally, more personally. Designing a handbag is undoubtedly different to designing a Braun stereo system, but I applied the same principles. It had to be functional, visually durable, and very aesthetic. Less, but better.

Enter Solae by Cecilie Manz, a portable, directional lamp that merges an ethos in nature with the quality and craftsmanship we've come to know and love from Fritz Hansen. Solae marks Manz's first rechargeable, portable lamp, offering new frameworks for how we might think about objects in the future.
