TSATSAS
past present future
By highlighting varied thematic sections, the exhibition offers many an insight into the sophisticated design of the leather goods and the craftsmanship that goes into them. It also spotlights various collaborative projects and joint ventures such as to give a fascinating peek behind the scenes of this successful label. The climax of the presentation in DLM is a kinetic installation that shows over 30 models from the past ten years of the TSATSAS collection. In an endless loop the bags glide past visitors as if transported on a conveyor belt. Presenting the models like this according to a system that is neither chronological nor hierarchical serves to symbolize the idea of timeless design so typical of the label.
Projects and collaborations with renowned figures from a wide variety of creative fields extend the TSATSAS design cosmos. Among other things, they took up a design by Dieter Rams, the former head of design at Braun, and 50 after he first came up with it launched the timeless design of his Bag 931. In another collaboration they were consulted by architect Sir David Chipperfield – the joint result was the SUIT-CASE leather travel bag that is completely free of plastic. These are also presented in the exhibition as are other collaborations including one with jewelry designer Saskia Diez.
The exhibition has been made possible thanks to generous funding from Dr. Marschner Stiftung.
