The Brut bag is made of a base combining hemp fabric and carbon fiber to provide good rigidity and to correct support.
A set of recycled polycarbonate boxes to store food and personal belongings will be attached to the bag's lower part using magnets.

The upper part of the bag is dedicated to storing clothes or other textiles in a sizeable expandable pocket in Polyethylene terephthalate. A waterproof coating will be added to this material, and a silicone shell will encompass and hold the load of clothing over the pocket. The bag closes and adjusts with regular straps and has several pockets on the front to make everything handy, including the elements in the back.

PROTECO is a concept for circular shin guards. Due to how they are designed, the materials can be separated by type and are, thereby, 100% recyclable. This concept is intended to avoid adhesives or similar connections that can be either detached from each other only at great expense or cause contamination in the recycled material. The goal is that all materials can be used to produce new shin guards, ensuring the necessary conservation of resources and avoiding waste.
