:SUSTAINABLE SHOEBOX PACKAGING

AN ETHICAL DESIGN RESEARCH PROJECT ON SUSTAINABLE HOUSEHOLD PACKAGING DESIGN & ENVIRONMENT HAS GIVEN ME DIRECTION TO DEVELOP IDEAS TO MY DESIGN PROJECT – THE SUSTAINABLE SHOEBOX PACKAGING DESIGNED FOR THE SPORTSWEAR COMPANY ADIDAS.

:DESIGN RATIONALE

THE PACKAGING IS MADE OUT OF 100% RECYCLABLE MATERIALS WITH NO GLUE NEEDED TO FORM IT. EASY TO DISASSEMBLE TO DISPOSE OFF AT ITS END OF LIFE.

MY FINAL SHOEBOX DESIGN IS A MULTI-FUNCTIONAL PRODUCT, AND IT WOULD BE AN EFFECTIVE SOLUTION IN REDUCING HOUSEHOLD PACKAGING WASTE DISPOSALS. THE AIM OF THE DESIGN IS TO ENCOURAGE INSTEAD OF THROWING AWAY THE SHOE BOXES, COLLECT THEM AND CREATE A PERSONALISED SHOE STORAGE.

THE HEXAGONAL SHAPE DESIGN WITH THE SLIDE TOGETHER CLIPS ALLOW SEVERAL BOXES TO BE JOINED TOGETHER TO FORM A HONEYCOMB STRUCTURED SHOE STORAGE.

THE TRANSPARENT WINDOW IS FOR DISPLAYING SHOES AND BLOCKING AWAY DUST, PERFECT FOR COLLECTING,

THE SHOEBOX HAS A SHOELACE ON TOP WHICH IS THE CARRIER OF THE BOX.

“ WE HAVE A PASSION FOR THE NEW, INNOVATIVE, UNIQUE AND UNDISCOVERED. WITH OUR EYES FIRMLY FOCUSED ON THE FUTURE. ” – YANKO DESIGN

THE LEVITATING BALL IS THE CLOCK THAT SHOWS CURRENT TIME AND ROOM TEMPERATURE WITH LED LIGHT. THE BALL IS MADE OUT OF A FROSTED PLASTIC BALL WITH WOOD PATTERN PRINTED ON IT.

THE SQUARE DISPLAY SHOWS THE ALARM YOU SET, IT COULD BE MANIPULATED BY YOUR SMARTPHONE OR BY PRESSING THE SET BUTTONS UNDER THE DISPLAY.

THE CLOCK HAS NO SNOOZE BUTTON, ONCE THE ALARM IS ON, THREE COINS WOULD AUTOMATICALLY FALL OFF FROM THE CLOCK, YOU WOULD HAVE TO PUT THE COINS BACK INTO THEIR OWN PLACES TO STOP THE ALARM. YOU NEED TO BE CONCENTRATED ENOUGH TO DO SO. THE CONCEPT IS TO STIMULATE YOUR BRAIN ACTIVITY TO WAKE YOU UP.

AN AIR SCENT DIFFUSER INSTALLED INSIDE OF THE CLOCK. WATER MOISTURE THAT CONTAINS SCENT ESSENTIAL OIL RELEASES WHEN THE ALARM IS ON, ESSENTIAL OIL SCENTS STIMULATE CONCENTRATION AND BOOSTS YOUR PRODUCTIVITY.

THE INBUILT BATTERY IS RECHARGEABLE – IT COULD LAST UP TO 3 MONTHS WITHOUT CHARGING. THERE IS NO WAY TO REMOVE THE BATTERY TO STOP THE ALARM.
