without thought
what comes into mind when people hear the word ‘container’?
is there a clear cut image held in common by everyone?
is the shape of a container dependent on its contents?
or do people look at a container and think,
‘if it’s this shape, then I want to put X in it’?
there’s an appeal to containers, regardless of what’s in them.
we came up with various designs when discussing just what that appeal was.
we searched out the soul of this appeal that was ‘effortlessly good’.
