Two objects in one.
The first is a comfortable briefcase where you can fill it with everything for daily use, as daily tools you need; the second one is the shell the convey something graphical, the pattern that represent a Magnolia Flower with lines and spaces; and the shadow that give us the idea of the running time with the darkness that cover the Magnolia flower before the night.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: I started to take a look on different websites of graphical and I thought that the lines combine one with the others can create object different object.
So I started to try to draw some lines together to represent a flower.
I found this pattern to represent the Magnolia Flower.
When I found my ideal pattern I glimpsed behind me the sunset so I saw the darkness approaching; for this reason I added the shadow on the pattern.
I sent the pattern create with a program on the pc to the printer.
I decided to print on a base of cotton with a coated in PVC with a grain.
This decision was taken because I thought that the PVC can protect personal tools but the cotton inside gives a natural aspect.
I decided to use an inkjet printer because it is an easy method for reach immediately the aim so I proceed with this method.
I tried to do different tests to find the right shades to better represent the sunset on the Magnolia flower.
In the meantime I thought to create a daily object for a man so I thought to a briefcase but expandable to give one 'plus' in a normal object.
So i started to draw different kind of briefcase, after several days and several tests with the pattern maker.
So I convey my idea to the pattern maker in the way we can create the right object.
After some days I reached my M'AGNOLIA.
