Overview
Whether you're backpacking around the world, road-tripping across the country or just heading on a one-day jaunt somewhere close by, packing light and taking your favourite things with you rarely go hand in hand. Sometimes, though, everyone wants to combine a new adventure with a slice of comfort. That's where the Nomadic Life kit comes in.
Recognising that we're all on the go all the time these days, product design brand Gerardo Osio has put together a collection of handy items that can be easily transported — and will instantly improve your travelling experience. Inside a portable wooden box, you'll find everything from a mat and a cushion for on-the-go relaxation to a copper tableware set. For an instant dose of added peacefulness, there's also a vase, candle and incense holder.
The project also aims to link in with Buddhist and Shinto philosophies about compact living by highlighting simplicity and practicability. With that in mind, all of the objects within the kit are hand-crafted from natural materials such as copper, wood, leather, straw, cotton and stone, and made in collaboration with six different Japanese traditional craft workshops.
