Design Ethos
DLS adopts design elements that amplify structures and embody a visually clean style, developing distinct methods that emphasize forms and function. The proportions of shapes and structures are thoughtfully refined and arranged with essential details. Understated tones and genuine materials are selected with great care for finishes.
Care and accuracy in the design process show respect towards the consumer. Starting from Vol.3, Dotlinesurface is involved in each step of the development from design ideation and sampling to pattern work and crafting procedure. We have been learning that sharpening production process in a more efficient way is critical to prevent supply chain/material waste and eventually to offer smarter, better product at a lower retail price. Style and function are persistently being shaped based on worthy comments and feedback from our loyal customers.
Beam and Sphere
The leather body and straps are assembled using distinctive components. The architectural beam bolts and Sphere nuts are icons of DLS objects, combining functionality and modern aesthetics. They play dual roles as both framework and joint for the leather structure, as well as key visual elements.
Circle-ended Strap
Our signature buckle-less strap demonstrates our commitment to delicacy and craftsmanship. The circle-ended shape is meticulously designed after in-depth studies to securely hold up the leather body and metal trims. Additional steps in the crafting process complete the minimal yet elaborate strap design, eliminating the need for conventional buckles and loops.
Clean Edge
Stitching is fine and mostly invisible. Thanks to the craftsmanship of artisans we collaborate with, our pieces boast exquisite finishing qualities. The technique is implemented through a small batch and piece-by-piece production system, which requires a longer time to turn out the finished objects.
