"Meiosis" backpack by Gilad Davidi

This is brilliant usage of materials.  I've always been fascinated with baseball catchers vests, and any other sporting good that gives you that "robo cop" armor vibe.  Very smart to use that construction on Bags.  Gilad is a student at the Shenkar College of Engineering and Design in Ramat Gan, Israel.

I love the name "meiosis", which is basically reductional cellular division. That is exactly what the bag looks like.

Here is an example of his take of coffee mugs.

QUOTED:

"meiosis backpack designed by davidi gilad, is an equipment bag which was developed to utilize
the physical properties of the elastic materials in which the bag is made. it is constructed from
rugged geometric polygonal shapes that harness the tension of the elastic fabrics, which is gained
by attaching the rugged parts to the while they are stretched on a frame. when released,
the geometric shapes prevent the fabrics from shrinking back, resulting in the bag's form and structure.
the tension and flexibility of the design maintains its shape while it is opened and closed."
