About our Work

McGregor’s hardshell backpack, conceived in 2000, stands as an early icon of wearable protection for the emerging digital era. Sculpted with the precision of an insect’s exoskeleton, its flexible composite shell conforms to the contours of the human body, creating a sleek, aerodynamic silhouette. The glossy carbon-fiber surface recalls the hull of a performance yacht, while the interior reveals a system of formed foam pads engineered to cradle laptops, music players, and the first generation of portable digital devices. Both futuristic and functional, the design merges high-tech materials with biomorphic geometry, offering a protective cocoon that anticipates the modern relationship between technology and the body.
