Düsseldorf, April 2015
Ultra-thin, elegant and with unlimited high-tech in the lightest, most compact MacBook Apple ever created. germanmade. responds with an extraordinary new sleeve.
Light, compact, secure and simultaneously unique and incredibly fashionable. We are not referring to the MacBook here but to the newest development from the germanmade. design team. The Lace Sleeve which is already regarded as a 'must-have' among fashion insiders, convinces with a design using the latest laser technique.
The deliberately inserted cuts in the 4mm thick, vegetable tanned cowhide leather allow for flexibility and a perfect fit.
The cuts can be opened and closed leporello-like when the MacBook is inserted or removed.
Like this the MacBook is not only stylishly protected but it also allows a tempting peak inside.
'The goal of the new product line was an ultimate combination of the old and new. The mix of natural, unaltered material combined with the latest laser technique creates new material qualities and thus new functions.' according to Heiko Nemitz, product designer of germanmade. ' It's not a coincidence that looking through the net like texture resembles peaking through the subtle shimmer of lace lingerie.'
So much room in so little sleeve. Fashionistas say ' highly addictive', regulars say ' practical and just beautiful' - simply germanmade.
The new design line 'Lace' includes sleeves for the MacBook (169,95 €) as well as for iPad mini (119,95€) and iPad Air 2 (149,95€). The covers are available as of now in the online store germanmadepunkt.de.

Working for the berlin agency Misfit Models, these personalities represent a cross section of all persons engaged. Del Keens, founder of the agency, is, he himself working as such a model. Receding Chinn, crooked teeth and bat ears he is contracted since 20 years at the agency Ugly Models. With his own agency he wanted to smooth the way for more people like him. People of all age, being tattooed, disabled people, people with striking pits, beards and different hairstyles, people besides the mainstream are engaged within his agency. They are not ugly but particular. „Misfit models have the self-confidence to be different“ says Del Keens.
With this campaign germanmade. stands out against the classical advertising motto. The pictures, taken by the berlin photographer Philipp Plum are refreshingly different. Brisk for eyes and mind and definitely worth a second glimpse. Philipp Plum succeeds in capturing the peculiarity of every model. In doing so he establishes a connection between model and viewer.
Unique. Like you. This is germanmade. and the actual campaign puts this credo perfectly into action. „Not only different, but unique“ says Nina Plum, founder from germanmade. „We could not have imagined a better realization of our first photo-campaign. The result is exactly how we would have hoped for and the cooperation was at every moment refreshing. Like the outcome. Refreshingly different.“
The young company germanmade. cooperates only with manufacturers within Germany working with natural material. Natural material with little blemishes such as scars, differences in colour or little flaws. Therefore each product is unique – as unique as Caprice, Oguz, Dirk and Rick.
The Shooting had been accompanied by a team from the German newspaper "Welt". The entire picture material can be found here.
