MCM introduces Bionic backpacks

German luxury brand MCM has unveiled a collection of hi-tech backpacks and bags inspired by space. The Bionic Series has a futuristic aesthetic, seeking to fuse heritage-inspired craftsmanship traditions with avant-garde designs. The Autumn/Winter 2015 series takes a visual cue from the light surface panels assembled over a spaceship’s exterior and the blueprints developed for a spacecraft’s interior. Featuring a linear pattern, the industrial design reinvents MCM’s signature M motif.

Custom-made tech materials

Celebrating the collection, men’s style magazine L’Officiel Hommes has created a sequence of four illustrations depicting the essence of the design. The mechanistic illustrations present each item in motion within a thrilling action-packed animated sequence.

The bag collection features angular veneers and innovative materials, and is constructed with VOC-protected (Volatile Organic Compounds) and toxic-free elements. Crafted with breathable, custom-made tech materials, the collection features interior padding and a glossy, water-resistant exterior for "high-resistance and high-fashion", the brand said. The machine-like design is available in black, gold and silver colour options.
