Product In Use
The Portable Dish Set that I have designed is intended to be simple and very useful. They are made out of polypropylene, when folded into shape, it becomes a set of different sized anti-leakage dishes. It is ideal for picnics as it can be flattened and carried around easily.
Usually cardboard picnic plates are hard to grip onto, so my design uses a pinched rectangle shape so that it fits perfectly on the palm. There are small dishes for children with small hands, medium dishes for people with bigger hands. The curved corners also make it safe to use.
An adjustable belt is included with the product, it secures the dishes when flattened and bent together to make sure it stays in place. When flattening the product, the big dishes are on the outside facing each other acting as a base and lid. However once bent, the dishes and the top lid are pushed against their folds, this makes the dishes flattened against each other so they won't fall out from the sides. Finally the adjustable strap is wrapped around the dishes and is ready to go or to store away.
The polypropylene is smooth and hydrophilic; making hand washing easier and also it is light-weighted, so it won't crack or break when dropped on hard surfaces.
It is suitably easy for children and adults to turn my 2D postal present into 3D products.
i like how its sustainable , but id be a little worried about heat from food on your bear hands .
ReplyDeleteThe concept is great and functional. And for food, you have to check whether polypropylene is safe or not. Good work!
ReplyDeleteThe practicality of your design is good since you can take those plates anywhere and eat anywhere you like with them. Only thing is whether or not it is safe to eat from it.
ReplyDeleteI like the shape of it and how you made it so it fits perfectly on your palm.
ReplyDeleteBut like what Guida wrote, I'm not really sure whether it's safe to put your food on Polypropelene or not.
Well done! I like the way how you assemble your product and the shape of your product. It's quite functional and convenient.
ReplyDeleteThe same thing, maybe you should double check the properties of polypropylene or you can keep to use polypropylene but to change its functions^_^
Over all, I will be so happy if I can receive such a gift.
Fiona, I love the geometry and simplicity behind your design. Can imagine it in a huge range of colours and scales. Don't be afraid to get adventurous with your designs, explore prints and contrasting colours!
