Shirrley is a versatile bag made out of a piece of mesh fabric and a single strand of string. The simple form gives it flexibility to carry different types of products and things with its adjustable shape. When it is fully collapsed the bag looks like a stylish shirred handbag.

The user could stretch out and adjust the height of it and could use as a shoulder bag with more inner capacity. When fully stretched, it eventually becomes a full-size grocery bag. The design of Shirrley came out from a simple question ‘Why most of the grocery bags are folded and hidden inside other bags?’ Simple beauty in everyday life is what Shirrley stands for.

Designer Thomas Merlin about project: “The concept comes from the idea of connection between the two elements which make up a table: the table top on the one hand, and the table leg on the other hand. The particular drawing of the table allows to fix these 2 elements by using a crossbar, which also serves as a carrying handle. This makes the small table easy to move in the house.

The table is easy to take apart. It is composed of 2 identical metal sheets, 3 oak crossbars and and 4 identical oak table legs. When disassembled, the whole does not exceed a bigger volume than 50 x 35 x 8 cm. Relations between flatness and volume, the inside and the outside, mobility and stability are some of the ideas crossing in this table.”
