WALLPAPER* CUTS WITH VICTORINOX IN LONDON

Victorinox announces an exclusive creative partnership with the official authority of design, Wallpaper* magazine, launching at London Design Festival 2009.

Entitled ‘Wallpaper Cuts’, the project is a unique collaboration between Wallpaper* and Victorinox, celebrating the beautifully crafted Swiss Army Knife. Three limited editions, featuring designs by Wallpaper* and up and coming artists James Joyce and Jamie Cullen, will go on sale exclusively at the Victorinox Flagship store on New Bond Street from 21st September.

Using the popular Climber Swiss Army Knife, the Wallpaper* Victorinox model is cased on both sides in untreated natural wood. Undulating contour lines have been laser etched into the wood, accurately representing a portion of the mountainous landscape which surrounds the Victorinox factory in the village of Ibach, Switzerland. This topographic design creates a tactile, graphic image on the knife, as well as providing a visual link to the home of the Swiss Army Knife.

Each knife is available for 70GBP and limited to an edition of 100.
