CHAPTER 04: ‘EXPLORATION IN UTILITY’, IN COLLABORATION WITH LEATHERMAN
Massimo Osti Studio presents Chapter 04, in collaboration with Leatherman Tool Group, global pioneer in the creation of multi-functional tools, introducing a modular vest and the ARC®.
Drawing on Massimo Osti’s interdisciplinary approach to innovating beyond apparel, Chapter 04 aims to redefine and evolve multifunctionality through cross-industrial contaminations.
Founded in 1983 by Tim Leatherman, the brand has been at the forefront of researching and developing innovative, multi-functional tools suitable for everyday use and the most challenging scenarios. The collaboration with Leatherman stemmed from the idea of deepening this functional design approach from a contemporary perspective.
Following this ethos, the vest of Chapter 04 incorporates an expandable and removable waterproof shield, which echoes the multi-functional structure of Leatherman tools. The shield includes a concealed pocket for storing the ARC® and detachable graphene padding.
Made from MagnaCut® steel with magnetic architecture, the ARC® tool combines the strength of a DLC- coated blade with corrosion resistance.
Chapter 04 will be available exclusively on massimoosti.com from May 30th, 2024.
