WHERE I END AND YOU BEGIN

WHERE I END AND YOU BEGIN — An installation exploring an objects boundaries | TSATSAS

WHERE DO THINGS END AND WHERE DO THEY BEGIN? CAN AN OBJECT HAVE TWO BEGINNINGS, TWO ENDS? ARE THERE BOUNDARIES WITHIN ONE ENTIRETY?

Bag and accessory label TSATSAS addressed the above mentioned theme in its installation WHERE I END AND YOU BEGIN. Shown for the first time during Berliner Mode Salon 2016, the installation was also on display at the TSATSAS atelier in Frankfurt/Main in January 2017.

In every single one of their designs Esther and Dimitrios Tsatsas explore an object’s boundaries. Their bags and accessories, produced using precise patterns, are made up of countless individual pieces which are assembled using in a complex production process to create a coherent piece.

With WHERE I END AND YOU BEGIN, the colour of the leather becomes a medium for highlighting the transitions within the bags and accessories. Because, to date, all TSATSAS leather designs have been monochrome, this has hidden the fact that the products are made up of different sections.

However, using different colours for the various elements highlights that diversity, rendering the boundaries suddenly visible. Such boundaries are either called for by the design, as with the LUCID tote bag, where different shades of leather come together in the front and back, or are set by the designers on the basis of aesthetic considerations, as with the HAZE clutch bag.
