Zip it: Bag brand joins forces with furniture label

Milan – Iconic rucksack brand Eastpak has teamed up with a furniture design label Quinze & Milan to present upholstered lounge seats at Milan Design Week 2010.

The ‘Built to resi(s)t’ line combines abstract furniture shapes with the classic characteristics of Eastpak’s zips, handles and fabrics, in colours such as red, black and white.

This first range will include special versions of Quinze & Milan design classics ‘Club Sofa 01’ and ‘Primary Pouf 02’. The seats include pockets that can be used as storage for items such as books, magazines, reading glasses or a laptop.
