Container

BRIEF -

To design a container for a chosen profession/ lifestyle.

I decided to design a Feng Shui container. I wanted to construct the container by using an origami method, as both originated from the same place. I experimented with various different origami patterns, and made up some of my own.

Even though the 3D origami containers looked beautiful they would be easily damaged, therefore hard to transport. I decided to go for a flat origami design.

I wanted to include the bagua map on the front of the design, so that it is the container itself that is the product.

The flat nets of my chosen design before construction.
