English leather
Article Abstract:
Connolly has commissioned the designer Ross Lovegrove to create a 37-piece collection of luggage including business card holder, backpack, and a suit carrier, to cater to British and European businessmen. The collaboration unites a modernist designer with a company based on the traditional past. The collection is in leather and burr walnut, which evokes Englishness. Precise look of the luggage collection owing to computer correction of the designs after sketching, is expected to serve as technological benchmark for the luggage industry. Biographical details on Lovegrove are given.
