As children, my brothers and I loved to listen to grandfather’s stories about life, begging for them at any opportunity, perched on the floor around the chair. And with which he spoiled us from time to time, slowly leading a leisurely thread of the story, with distractions to detailed details, sitting on his chair - the same lover of stories of the past! Inspired by childhood memories, we set about reincarnating an archaic object that became such a close and silent witness to us as we grew up. In our interpretation, the heroes of the past come to life, like a chameleon, taking on the surroundings of the story’s setting. Working through the details of the collection and finishing materials, we created four brutal archetypes from the stories of our grandfather, associated with the types of activities we remember: Savant (engineer), Lumberer (woodcutter), Farmer (peasant), Aviator (pilot). Having abandoned the classic image, we left the form based on an open look, clear content and comfortable fit, naming the collection with the invented pleasant word Tuttu.
The TUTTU Aviator image is based on elements of the uniform of pilots and mechanics. Deliberately rough canvas fabric, contrasting stitching, straps, buckles, a fake side number, as well as straps that tighten the seat and back, pressing them to the frame. These details form an object associated with the heroism and courage of the first conquerors of the heavenly ocean.
