seasonings container


rationale

Rationale
My project is about a container that storage spices or tea bags. Some spices are bigger than others. For instance bay leaves and cinnamon are stored in large quantities in kitchen for cooking soup and stew meat.

My design is inspired from the way pinecone storage seeds. I design this container in 5 parts so each part could remove, because this container is use little area in kitchen and spices or teabag also should be easy to take and refill from it. There have another benefit of the separate part is the flavours will not mixed up. This container are made from plastic so it will be much easy to product in variety of colour and size so consumers are free to play with the colour and size. Moreover it is much easy to identify the spices inside. The container has a cover on the top to prevent the absorbing moisture from the kitchen steam vapors.

THE material use Polypropylene is recyclable and has the number "5" as its resin identification code: .The PP is relatively inexpensive, has adequate mechanical properties (impact resistance) and easy to mould.


The biomimetic of this design is pinecone storage seeds in different gaps. So this way of storage seeds inspired me to design a teabag container, finally the concept developed to storage kitchen stuff like big size spices or teabags. The shape of this container is developed from the cross section of pinecone

concept solution


how about make a cover on each gap. the small size container could stand on the structure of the gaps. there have a small angel of the push in cover so it will every easy to take and refill tea bags. if people put different flavor into different gaps so the flavor will not mix.

concept


this container inspired from pine cone.the way of pine cone storage seeds inspired me how to storage small bag of powder like tea bags, coffee bags and other small stuff we use in the kitchen. this container could design in different size to contain many different stuff. this container have 5 gaps, if we have some teabags in different taste we can separate them into gaps.

concept wine storage



this wine storage inspired from cocoon which storage baby butterfly. this is half cocoon shapes wine holder i chose this shape because the cylinder shape could follow the curve of the wine bottle and make it stable. there also have 2 stands underneath. there also have a interlocking property, which could connect together when people want storage more wine it will be much safe

video reflection-the 11th hour

The 11th Hour is a 2007 documentary film, created, produced and narrated by Leonardo DiCaprio, on the state of the natural environment. This film indicates many environmental problems caused by human. The problems are including the planet's life systems, global warming, deforestation, mass species extinction, and depletion of the oceans' habitats. Human are at the last seconds of the 12hours life.
The problem is not global warming, the problem is not waste, the problem is the way what we are thinking. We still have chance to change the situation of environment.
David Suzuki said that in the 4,000,000,000 years of earth’s history, 99.9999% of species ever existed have become extinct. So, it’s not unnatural for human beings as a species to become extinct. It is a shame that human is taking more than 54,000 species a year to extinction.
Oceans and rainforest can produce oxygen; absorb carbon dioxide, control climate weather and temperature. But green house gas is increasing with the development of human industry. There have lots of waste when people production product. Sea contains a large number of toxic substances and heavy metals. The desert is expanding, rainforest in the disappearance. the polar ice caps are melting and the earth has become more and more hot.
As a designer what we design should consider the environmental development problems. We also should consider how our products influence people to protect environment. The way and material of production is also important that industry could reduce more waste and pollution.

group presentation natural inspiration



lotus leaves
• This rolling pattern and the circle lotus leaves could be the shape of a jewellery plate.
• The way of this leave rolling could inspire us how to place rings.



nautilus
• The organic shape of nautilus shells could be the jewellery plate with different size gaps



sea hedgehog and hedgehog

• This animal have many thorn on it’s back that inspired me the way of display the ring. Like improve thorn into cone shapes keep big gap between each “thorn” that could be a ring storage.
