Puma is looking forward to a Spring 2007 release of an accessories line created by Dutch designer Marcel Wanders. Wanders’ claim to fame began in 1995 with his creation of the Knotted Chair. This was the beginning of a long line of projects with major European contemporary design manufacturers like Cappellini, Bisazza, B&B Italia, Poliform, Moroso, Flos, Boffi, Droog Design and Moooi (of which he is a design director). The freedom given to Wanders via Puma allows for an interesting design perspective due to the dissimilarities in agenda of both companies. As you can by the pictures some very interesting pieces are set to release in terms of luggage and bags as well as non-conventional products such as tents.
