The DESIGN FOR GOOD Eco Design Competition 2013 challenges designers to use their creative influence in creating up-cycled products made from used beverage cartons that is commercially viable and functional. The winning design is then donated to our selected beneficiary, Beautiful Gate Foundation For The Disabled, for commercialization as an alternative fundraising tool.
The Silver Swirls - Fruit/multipurpose holder
A short summary of the product :
Cut, Roll, and Join; cut the carton, roll the strips, join with pin and strings; are 3 simple steps into producing your very own multipurpose holder, or what we'd like to call: "Silver Swirl". Composed of recycled, readily available materials such as the 'Tetra Pak' cartons, and strings, the end product is cheap and convenient to build. Designed to be multi-functional, it's not only limited to holding on to stationaries, it is also able to hold fruits or jewelries with a piece of cloth padding. If you are one who is into arts, you'll definitely be up for this, from swirls to linear and curves, and not to forget the small splash of colours from the outer layers of the cartons, you'll be drawn to take a second look. In addition, the internal surface of aluminium is exposed to further beautify the model; art lovers will agree that this is an eye-pleasing piece of art. Whether it is the kitchen, or your study room, this holder can easily be moved. On top of that, it does not break, giving it a strong lifespan. Silver Swirl is a great way to appreciating and exploring handicrafts, whilst going green.
