NOK came up as my bachelor’s graduation project for the product design course at Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro (PUC-Rio). My intention was designing for outdoor sports practitioners in urban or wild environments alike. Therefore, I focused most of my effort into making it as light and environmentally resistant as possible. The modular properties of the pouches and its attachment system were

based on the idea of building and customizing your own carrying space. The NOK could be fastened virtually anywhere: belts, backpack straps, bikes and even furniture, it would provide its user with new ways to make space in most of his daily situations. The NOK became my first product at friendog – the brand I developed while starting my professional life as a designer.
