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
