THE DISSOLVING PLASTIC BAG

Saturday, February 27th, 2010 by Jon

From a range of environmentally minded packaging designed by Cyberpac. When the bag in this film dissolves all that is left is the printing ink, and apparently the water is drinkable once the bag has dissolved. The range is called Harmless and champions other forward thinking environmental packaging.

With the launch of Apple’s latest product this week I thought it was appropriate to post this. Concept by Mr A. Bainbridge it featured in TDOD issue 6 which was sent out in PDF format before the creation of this site. Mr Bainbridge explains:

The new junior iSlate from the Apple Corporation.

“This retro model laptop is wireless, has unlimited memory and comes with an authentic oak frame finish. A radical departure for Apple, this late Victorian/early Edwardian style model bucks the trend and is “a breath of fresh air”, designed to counter Apple’s normal state of the art, smug, style conscious image. The price is expected to be a competitive 3 shillings and thr’pence.”

Thursday, November 26th, 2009 by Jon

30 Conversations on Design is a web based project bringing together the thoughts of 30 designers, architects and authors. Each is asked: “What single example of design inspires you most” and “what problem should design solve next.” It is the creation of Joe Cecere, Creative Director at Little&Company.
