PACKAGING FOR DRY CUT FLOWERS Loose marigold flowers sold in the city have inneffiecient packaging as a part of their supply chain. The bags are made of woven polypropylene and carry around 60 kg of flowers. Four corners of the bag meet in the center to be tiedd into a knot. This casues around 2 kg of flower wastage regularly as flowers slip through th bag.
The goals of the new design were: 1. Time: Work fast in less time 2. Simplicity: Needs to be understood by everyone effortlessly 3. Cost and Manufacture: Affordable by anyone in the supply chain Brief To design packaging for dry cut flowers, which ensures longevity of flowers, eradicates wastage, and is quick and easy to use. After multiple design directions and iterations in them, the final product was a simple draw-string mechanism which could be easily pulled apart and drawn together. The product was effecient in packing, trasnporting and displaying the flowers as well.
BRA SIZING, FITTING AND MEASUREMENT SOLUTIONS Brassiere shopping is a taxing task. One can never find the perfect bra without having to try atleast 5 of them. In India, brassiere shopping also involves a lot of stigma and unawareness. Most women do not know that they wear the wrong bra size. Going to a store and asking for a fitting is perceived to be an embarassing activity. Furthermore, store assistants are usually men, due to which there is hesitation in open dialogue for the shopper.
Concept: A simple scarf in the trial room, which will aid the user to measure her bust without being embarassed. Work in progress....
