A Philippe Starck Apprentice

Jeromeolivet-Backpack

Now that's the kind of reality show I would like to see, but I digress - Jerome Olivet is a Frenchman who worked with Philippe Starck for three years and is now going it alone with his own line of amazingly beautiful and functional products. His latest works involve the study of gesture and movement. The fruition is this stark (no pun intended) and beautiful backpack.

The backpack has a clever twist in the straps to rest your thumbs and hands in. Anyone who regularly wears a heavy ass backpack knows how we tend to hold on to the straps to relieve some of the weight, often leaving us with sore-clenched hands. This backpack eliminates that thru its innovative strap design.

Currently sold here for only $165 $220. Somebody buy me one please!
