Wrapping Case, Your Original Phone Case
Obviously iPhone is an aggregation of electronic components.
蝉 Semi considered to cover electronic devices over analogue case.
How to make difference from other digital devices users is often a controversial issue for connoisseurs.
As well as secular changing wallet and bag, we came up with an idea of i-phone sleeve that enhance your stylin’!
That is ‘wrapping case’.
As of word, this phone case wraps your iPhone with its special texture.
This sleeve uses pigskin beneath the case, so that it modulates its shapes, with its outer cover, tarpauline day by day.
Your iPhone sleeve becomes highly original, fitting comfortably in you hands.
No worries for screen cracking for it being protected with soft materials.
付けるケースではなく、纏うケースです。
iPhoneは言うまでもなく電子部品の集合体ですが、それをカバーするケースをアナログにできないかと考えました。
デジタル製品には経年変化という概念がありませんが、使い込む程に馴染むケースは作れないだろうかと熟孝を重ねてこのカタチに辿り着きました。
内側にピッグスキン(豚革)を張ることで、使い込む度にiPhoneのカタチにフィットし、それに伴い外側のターポリン(*1)が馴染んでいきます。
纏うことで、万が一落とした時に、画面が割れるという恐れもありません。
蝉 semi のiPhoneケースは、纏うケース。
iPhoneケースの概念をちょっぴり覆します。
Origami is a traditional japanese paper craft
that we, Japanese, are familiar with from childhood.
From young, we fold paper into various shapes. As you might already know, the most well known example of origami would be paper cranes.
This origami case was created by chance, while we were playing with this material folding iPhone.
We named this case after origami since our producing process resembled the motion of folding origami.
After trial and error, we then found out that, this 'supposed to be' iPhone case goes well with card case use.
This iPhone case is full of possibilities that even we might not have discovered them yet.
付けるケースではなく、覆うケースです。
ある日の製作現場で、手元にあった自分たちのiPhoneを生地で包んで遊んでみたことがキッカケでした。
その畳む動作が折り紙のようなで、iPhoneを纏うそのカタチがとても綺麗なことに気付きました。
試行錯誤の末、プロダクトが完成すると、
その大きさがカードケースにも適していることに今度は気付きました。
製作現場で偶然の発見から生まれたこのプロダクトは、発見の連続です。
iPhone も使う人次第で楽しみ方は十色ですが、このiPhone caseも使う人次第でさらに新しい発見があるかもしれません。

Comfortable Clutch With Natural Hold
When holding a laptop, or Macbook itself, people tend to carry it using one hand on either side of their body.
On the other hand, people who carry it with its case on seems to have difficulty holding it since those cases are often over-sized, functioning only as a protector.
So here, we offer you a comfortable clutch style bag, which enable you to have a sufficient protective case with natural hold.
We got this innovative idea from students in Paris who carried textbooks and notebooks in their crutch bag walking balmily.
Natural posture of holding is made possible, by attaching handle to case itself, and clutch also works as an accent of its design.
Please walk along with your MacBook with great facility.
自然な持ち方を可能にする、ケースです。
Macbook本体を持つ人を観察していると、ほぼ全員が片手で身体の脇に抱えながら持っていることに気付きました。
一方で、ケースに入ったMacBookを持つ人を観察すると、両手で抱えたり、ケースとしては機能しても分厚くてなんだか持ちにくそうです。
ケースに入れても、自然な持ち方を実現できないか。
ヒントを得たのは、こぞって書類やノートをクラッチバッグに入れて颯爽と街を歩いていた Paris の大学生たち。
ケース自体にクラッチバッグのような持ち手を付けることで、自然な持ち方を実現させるだけでなく、デザインのアクセントにもしました。
クラッチスタイルで颯爽と、お気に入りのMacBookを持ち歩いてください。
Totable size, best fit to carry around with your daily items.
Your favorite hard covered book, iPad, single-lens reflex camera….
Whatever comes up to your mind, just put it in, and let’s take a walk!
ポッコリ感にこだわりました。

さぁ、一緒に街に連れ出してください。

From march to may of 2011, Roppongi streets was decorated with flags made by designers around Japan. Roppongi Commerce Association organizes a series of events like the Designer’s Flag Competition that culminate in the Roppongi Art Night. Probably some of you can remember it. Before 2010, the flags were thrown away. Now Semi re-design it into Tote bags and sells it to the same designer that created the flag graphics. Please take a look in some of the coolest designs.
Flags are the after use of Tokyo Designers Week 2010(TDW2010). With TDW2010 commemorating 25th anniversary, the expected theme was ‘Environment’ x ‘Design’. Above all, ‘Nakadai Project’, which collaborated with Nakadai industrial vender, was the most appealing work following the theme‘Environment’ x ‘Design’ for it suggesting the prospect for the new possible design using industrial discharge. Flags are designed by, Guenael Nicholas, a designer who is famous for his versatile talent. He designs interior of UNIQLO, mobile phone, perfume bottle and so on. For this 25th anniversary, he created bright blue called ‘LOVE BLUE’, highlighting the space.
These materials are the Nakadai sunroof that are abandoned and became industrial discharge. Thousands of industrial wastes, from pen to iron and steel scrap, are carried to Nakadai, the vendor of industrial waste, in Gunma. Sunroof are gathered at the corner of waste-collection point where the sounds of pressing the iron and steel for recycling purpose are pervaded. 蝉 semi and Nakadai develop tough and light bag exclusively using high quality sunroof as a collaborate project.
This flag was used and displayed at Tokyo Designers Week 2011. This event accommodated record-high 91,239 people. “LOVE -ARIGATO-” was a seasonal theme for the year 2011, which many neo-challenges were seen. For example, not only design creative, but also workshop and musical event from which children to adults could enjoy were organized: Tohoku reconstruction project, “Tohoku to the future” and “Mori wa Umi no Koibito” by Louis Vuitton. Flag design is done by Germany neo-architecture, Florian Buschs. Theme of ‘LOVE’ is expressed in his color-use and in his simple font, strong will of reconstruction is suggested.
This flags were used at NIKE MIYAHSITA CUP that was presented by Nike in Miyashita Park in 2011 summer. This event was unprecedented event because all electric devices used at this event were developed by solar energy and human-powered electricity generator. This tournament gathered attention from audience not only domestic but also oversea' because Nike organized this tournament at night from creative approach even though sports at night opportunities were limited since there were electricity saving measurements in Japan. Also this product became the first case that Nike Japan permitted second use of their advertising.
This flag was used and displayed at art fair TOKYO FRONTLINE.Started in 2011, art fair TOKYO FRONTLINE’s mission is to promote young Japanese artists with future potential,to make art goods, to hold symposium, to give out awards, thus increasing the power of art of today’s generation and challenging the platform.The art fair takes place in 3331 Arts Chiyoda, one of new venues for Contemporary Art in Tokyo.
In 2012, this material was displayed in Tokyo Marathon Expo as an advertising for running wear from global sports brand. Material patron has unique polka dots and its wear has an innovative technology to offer ventilation and lightweight for runners.
Our philosophy is simple, yet strong willed.
Our mission is to keep products alive and to help products arise from distinction.
In a process of each member working in a vast designing business, we realized that increasing amount of goods and textiles are turning over and becoming leftover with new collections coming in and out.
Our approach is to extend the cycle of design to let the chain of struggle ends.
僕らが大切にしているシンプルな想いです。
メンバーのそれぞれがデザインの現場に携わってきた過程で、シーズンが変わった、掲載期間が終わった、売れ残った、様々な理由により、多くのモノが行き場を失ってることに気付きました。
その葛藤を葛藤のままで終わらせないために、蝉 semi はデザインの寿命を長くしています。
